Evidence / storm surfaces
How Belle Glade saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where Aug 21, 2026 sits in Belle Glade's hail record.
This was Belle Glade's 17th recorded hail day, arriving 16 days after the Aug 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 18th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Belle Glade at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Belle Glade: the same system put hail over 659 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Florida. Nearest: Stuart (33 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Palm City (41 miles north, up to 0.75"); Okeechobee (45 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 Belle Glade 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
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Belle Glade for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Belle Glade 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.
