Evidence / storm surfaces
How Rehoboth Beach saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 10, 2026 · Rehoboth Beach, DE
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
0.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Rehoboth Beach, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 10, 2026 sits in Rehoboth Beach's hail record.
This was Rehoboth Beach'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 Rehoboth Beach at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Rehoboth Beach: the same system put hail over 616 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Delaware. Nearest: Milton (9 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Cambridge (51 miles west, up to 0.5"); Kennedyville (64 miles northwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Rehoboth Beach 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.

Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Rehoboth Beach 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.

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 11, 2026.
