Evidence / storm surfaces
How Frostproof saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
The storm in context
Where Jul 7, 2026 sits in Frostproof's hail record.
This was Frostproof's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jul 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Frostproof at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Frostproof: the same system put hail over 568 other tracked cities, 48 of them in Florida. Nearest: Avon Park (9 miles southeast, up to 1.5"); Indian Lake Estates (9 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Sebring (14 miles south, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Frostproof 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.
For this storm over Frostproof, 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 Frostproof 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$72K
Potential roof exposure — 6 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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.
