How Palestine saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Apr 27, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Apr 27, 2026 sits in Palestine's hail record
This was Palestine's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 43 days after the Mar 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Palestine at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Palestine: the same system put hail over 1,188 other tracked cities, 90 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Colt (7 miles north, up to 1"); Mc Crory (16 miles northwest, up to 0"); Forrest City (17 miles east, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Palestine's Apr 27, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Palestine for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 1" hail means for Palestine roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
