Two ways to read the storm

How Lehigh Acres 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 Lehigh Acres, FL on Jun 24, 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 Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lehigh Acres, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Lehigh Acres's hail record

This was Lehigh Acres's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lehigh Acres at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lehigh Acres: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 48 of them in Florida. Nearest: Alva (9 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Labelle (23 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Punta Gorda (28 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Lehigh Acres'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.

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 Lehigh Acres. 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 Lehigh Acres 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

Other storms in Lehigh Acres

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.
