How Kissimmee saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 18, 2026 · Kissimmee, FL

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 Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Kissimmee, FL on Jun 18, 2026 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.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 18, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Kissimmee, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 18, 2026 sits in Kissimmee's hail record.

This was Kissimmee's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jun 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kissimmee at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kissimmee: the same system put hail over 221 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Florida. Nearest: Intercession City (11 miles north, up to 0.5"); Howey In The Hills (44 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Sebring (45 miles south, up to 0.5").

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

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Kissimmee. 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Kissimmee 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.

2,469 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$30M

Potential roof exposure — 2,469 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Claim window

June 2028

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $518 on top of the $150 plan.

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 22, 2026.
