How Winslow saw the hail — from two instruments

May 5, 2026 · Winslow, AZ

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.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where May 5, 2026 sits in Winslow's hail record.

This was Winslow's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 8th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Winslow at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Winslow: the same system put hail over 46 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Arizona. Nearest: Kykotsmovi Village (66 miles north, up to 0.5"); Bellevue (609 miles north, up to 0.5"); Ozona (621 miles southeast, up to 2.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Winslow 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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Winslow. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Winslow 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

63 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Claim window

May 2028

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

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 12, 2026.
