Two ways to read the storm

How Arcadia saw the hail — from two instruments

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Arcadia, FL on Jun 26, 2026 — Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

The storm in context

Where Jun 26, 2026 sits in Arcadia's hail record

This was Arcadia's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 20 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Arcadia at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Arcadia: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Florida. Nearest: Ona (15 miles northwest, up to 4"); Punta Gorda (15 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Port Charlotte (23 miles southwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Arcadia's Jun 26, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Arcadia. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Arcadia roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$1.6M

Potential roof exposure — 137 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
