How Arcadia saw the hail — from two instruments

May 15, 2026 · Arcadia, FL

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.

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

The storm in context

Where May 15, 2026 sits in Arcadia's hail record.

This was Arcadia's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the May 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 24th of the 24 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Arcadia at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Arcadia: the same system put hail over 444 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Florida. Nearest: Zolfo Springs (28 miles northeast, up to 1"); Kiln (503 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Corinth (801 miles north, up to 0").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 24 Arcadia 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.

For this storm over Arcadia, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Below the severe threshold

What 0" hail means for Arcadia 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 Sep 10, 2026.
