Two ways to read the storm

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.

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 16 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: Fernandina Beach (7 miles north, up to 1"); Saint Marys (22 miles north, up to 1"); Saint Johns (28 miles south, up to 1.25").

These maps are stills from Jacksonville's Jun 27, 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.

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, roof-replacing hail

What 2" hail means for Jacksonville roofs

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
