How Rogers saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 12, 2026 · Rogers, AR

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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Map image is still rendering for this surface.

The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Rogers, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Rogers's hail record.

This was Rogers's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 105 days after the May 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Rogers at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Rogers: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 44 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Siloam Springs (18 miles west, up to 0.5"); Eagle Rock (22 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Huntsville (27 miles east, up to 1.25").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Rogers 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.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Rogers. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Rogers roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 Sep 13, 2026.
