The 9th most severe storm Globe has seen in the last 12 months

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Globe saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Globe, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 15, 2026 sits in Globe's hail record.
This was Globe's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Globe at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Globe: the same system put hail over 114 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Arizona. Nearest: Roosevelt (21 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Payson (67 miles north, up to 0.5"); Marana (68 miles southwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Globe 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 Globe 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 Globe 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.
