Evidence / storm surfaces
How Quitman saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Quitman, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 22, 2026 sits in Quitman's hail record.
This was Quitman's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 42 days after the Jul 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Quitman at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Quitman: the same system put hail over 501 other tracked cities, 76 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Bee Branch (9 miles west, up to 1.5"); Edgemont (11 miles north, up to 0.75"); Higden (11 miles north, up to 0.75").

Ground reports
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Quitman. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Quitman roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

- ~$75K
Close just 0.5% of the 936 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
