How Lake Placid saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lake Placid, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 23, 2026 sits in Lake Placid's hail record
This was Lake Placid's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lake Placid at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lake Placid: the same system put hail over 330 other tracked cities, 29 of them in Florida. Nearest: Sebring (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Zolfo Springs (24 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Punta Gorda (28 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Lake Placid's Jun 23, 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.
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 Lake Placid. 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.
What 0.5" hail means for Lake Placid 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.
