Evidence / storm surfaces
How Davenport saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Davenport, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 17, 2026 sits in Davenport's hail record.
This was Davenport's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Davenport at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Davenport: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 71 of them in Florida. Nearest: Lake Wales (15 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Polk City (18 miles west, up to 0.75"); Winter Garden (21 miles north, up to 0.5").

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.
For this storm over Davenport, 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Davenport 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$27M
Potential roof exposure — 2,210 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 11 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$165K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,210 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $464 on top of the $150 plan.
