Evidence / storm surfaces
How Jacksonville 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 signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Jacksonville's hail record.
This was Jacksonville's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 28 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Jacksonville at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Jacksonville: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 50 of them in Florida. Nearest: Saint Johns (9 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Green Cove Springs (22 miles south, up to 1.25"); Fernandina Beach (30 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 28 Jacksonville 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Jacksonville. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for Jacksonville roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.
