Two ways to read the storm

How Kissimmee saw the hail — from two instruments

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Kissimmee, FL on Jul 13, 2026

The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Kissimmee, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 13, 2026 sits in Kissimmee's hail record

This was Kissimmee's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kissimmee at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kissimmee: the same system put hail over 92 other tracked cities, 32 of them in Florida. Nearest: Orlando (14 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Lake Alfred (23 miles southwest, up to 1"); Auburndale (28 miles southwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Kissimmee's Jul 13, 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 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

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$24M

Potential roof exposure — 1,983 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 1,983 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.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Kissimmee

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
