How Melbourne 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.
NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 10, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jul 10, 2026 sits in Melbourne's hail record
This was Melbourne's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Melbourne at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Melbourne: the same system put hail over 682 other tracked cities, 89 of them in Florida. Nearest: Saint Cloud (10 miles west, up to 0.75"); Palm Bay (18 miles south, up to 1"); Kenansville (26 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Melbourne's Jul 10, 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Melbourne. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
What 1" hail means for Melbourne roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
