Evidence / storm surfaces
How Piggott saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 15, 2026 · Piggott, AR
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 15, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 15, 2026 sits in Piggott's hail record.
This was Piggott's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 6th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Piggott at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Piggott: the same system put hail over 695 other tracked cities, 131 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Qulin (14 miles north, up to 1"); Neelyville (25 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Cardwell (29 miles south, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Piggott storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Reports came from Greenway — beyond Piggott itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Piggott roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 27, 2026.
