Evidence / storm surfaces
How Laurel Hill 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Laurel Hill, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Laurel Hill's hail record.
This was Laurel Hill's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 44 days after the May 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Laurel Hill at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Laurel Hill: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 20 of them in Florida. Nearest: Union Springs (94 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Mobile (114 miles west, up to 0.5"); Seale (125 miles northeast, up to 0.5").

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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Laurel Hill 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Laurel Hill 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.
