How Bokeelia saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 14, 2026 · Bokeelia, 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.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Bokeelia, FL on Jul 14, 2026 Estimated size field

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

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Bokeelia, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 14, 2026 sits in Bokeelia's hail record.

This was Bokeelia'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 Bokeelia at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Bokeelia: the same system put hail over 130 other tracked cities, 14 of them in Florida. Nearest: Cape Coral (13 miles east, up to 0.75"); Captiva (14 miles south, up to 0.75"); Punta Gorda (31 miles northeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Bokeelia 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.

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 Bokeelia, 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Bokeelia roofs.

A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

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 1, 2026.
