Evidence / storm surfaces
How Searcy 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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 1, 2026 sits in Searcy's hail record.
This was Searcy's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the May 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Searcy at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Searcy: the same system put hail over 827 other tracked cities, 121 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Heber Springs (12 miles northwest, up to 1"); Wilburn (14 miles north, up to 1"); Bald Knob (17 miles east, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Searcy 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
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 Searcy 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.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Searcy 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$180K
Potential roof exposure — 15 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $3 on top of the $150 plan.
