Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cocoa saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 5, 2026 · Cocoa, 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 Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.

The storm in context
Where Sep 5, 2026 sits in Cocoa's hail record.
This was Cocoa's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Aug 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cocoa at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cocoa: the same system put hail over 514 other tracked cities, 12 of them in Florida. Nearest: Rockledge (7 miles south, up to 0.75"); Melbourne (17 miles south, up to 0.75"); Saint Cloud (33 miles southwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Cocoa 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
1 report 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.

How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Titusville Airpor — beyond Cocoa itself.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Cocoa 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.

Potential roof exposure — 8 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

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 7, 2026.
