Evidence / storm surfaces
How Black Canyon City 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Black Canyon City, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 15, 2026 sits in Black Canyon City's hail record.
This was Black Canyon City's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 1 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Black Canyon City at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Black Canyon City: the same system put hail over 60 other tracked cities, 3 of them in Arizona. Nearest: Mayer (24 miles north, up to 0.75"); Prescott (35 miles north, up to 1"); Maricopa (73 miles south, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Black Canyon City storm date 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 Black Canyon City 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Black Canyon City 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.
