Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kissimmee 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 Mar 15, 2026 sits in Kissimmee's hail record.
This was Kissimmee's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Mar 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kissimmee at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kissimmee: the same system put hail over 695 other tracked cities, 66 of them in Florida. Nearest: Davenport (10 miles west, up to 1.75"); Lake Wales (11 miles south, up to 2"); Intercession City (11 miles north, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 Kissimmee 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 Kissimmee, 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.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Kissimmee roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

- Illustrative work
- ~$645K
Close just 0.5% of the 8,686 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
