Evidence / storm surfaces
How Winslow saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Winslow, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 16, 2026 sits in Winslow's hail record.
This was Winslow's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Sep 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Winslow at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Winslow: the same system put hail over 73 other tracked cities, 7 of them in Arizona. Nearest: Paulden (97 miles west, up to 0.5"); Scottsdale (103 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); New River (114 miles southwest, up to 0.5").

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.
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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Winslow roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
