Two ways to read the storm

How Miami 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.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Miami, FL on Jul 6, 2026 — Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

The storm in context

Where Jul 6, 2026 sits in Miami's hail record

This was Miami's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 18th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Miami at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Miami: the same system put hail over 832 other tracked cities, 40 of them in Florida. Nearest: Hialeah (9 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Pembroke Pines (15 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Hollywood (17 miles northeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Miami's Jul 6, 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 Miami. 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 Miami 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.
