How Lake Placid 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-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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lake Placid, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Lake Placid's hail record
This was Lake Placid's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th 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 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lake Placid: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 48 of them in Florida. Nearest: Sebring (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Lorida (14 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Avon Park (21 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Lake Placid's Jun 24, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Lake Placid for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
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.
