Evidence / storm surfaces
How Merritt Island saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Merritt Island, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 19, 2026 sits in Merritt Island's hail record.
This was Merritt Island's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Merritt Island at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Merritt Island: the same system put hail over 339 other tracked cities, 28 of them in Florida. Nearest: Cocoa (9 miles southwest, up to 1"); Melbourne (25 miles south, up to 0.75"); Malabar (35 miles south, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Merritt Island storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Merritt Island. 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Merritt Island roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$57M
Potential roof exposure — 4,721 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 24 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$360K
Close just 0.5% of the 4,721 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $991 on top of the $150 plan.
