How Arcadia saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 10, 2026 · Arcadia, FL

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.

The storm in context

Where Jul 10, 2026 sits in Arcadia's hail record.

This was Arcadia's 16th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jul 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 24 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Arcadia at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Arcadia: the same system put hail over 682 other tracked cities, 89 of them in Florida. Nearest: Port Charlotte (9 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); North Port (9 miles west, up to 1"); Punta Gorda (21 miles southeast, up to 1.25").

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.

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.

High damage potential

What 1.5" hail means for Arcadia roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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.
