How Yellville saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 26, 2026 · Yellville, AR

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Yellville, AR on Aug 26, 2026 — Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 1.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Yellville, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 26, 2026 sits in Yellville's hail record.

This was Yellville's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Aug 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Yellville at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Yellville: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 63 of them in Arkansas. Nearest: Flippin (6 miles east, up to 1.5"); Protem (15 miles north, up to 1"); Gainesville (20 miles northeast, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Yellville 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.

High damage potential

What 1.5" hail means for Yellville 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.

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.
