Evidence / storm surfaces

How Hastings saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 25, 2026 · Hastings, FL

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 25, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 25, 2026 sits in Hastings's hail record.

This was Hastings's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Jul 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hastings at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hastings: the same system put hail over 303 other tracked cities, 42 of them in Florida. Nearest: Palatka (23 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Fort Mc Coy (28 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Bunnell (28 miles south, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Hastings 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

No reports 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Hastings 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 Hastings 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.

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 Aug 21, 2026.
