Two ways to read the storm

How Haines City 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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Haines City, FL on Jun 12, 2026

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Haines City, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 12, 2026 sits in Haines City's hail record

This was Haines City's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 31 days after the May 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Haines City at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Haines City: the same system put hail over 293 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Florida. Nearest: Lake Wales (17 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Intercession City (21 miles north, up to 0.5"); Kissimmee (22 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Haines City's Jun 12, 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Haines City for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Haines City roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$5.8M

Potential roof exposure — 480 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Other storms in Haines City

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.
