Two ways to read the storm

How Fort Myers saw the hail — from two instruments

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.

Where Jun 30, 2026 sits in Fort Myers's hail record

This was Fort Myers's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Fort Myers at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Fort Myers: the same system put hail over 720 other tracked cities, 97 of them in Florida. Nearest: Naples (21 miles south, up to 1"); Felda (25 miles east, up to 1"); Labelle (28 miles northeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Fort Myers's Jun 30, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Fort Myers. 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Fort Myers roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$672K

Other storms in Fort Myers

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
