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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Miami, FL on Jul 15, 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 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Miami, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 15, 2026 sits in Miami's hail record

This was Miami's 13th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Jul 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 17th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Miami at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Miami: the same system put hail over 114 other tracked cities, 4 of them in Florida. Nearest: Pembroke Pines (15 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Ochopee (40 miles west, up to 1.5"); Everglades City (63 miles west, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Miami's Jul 15, 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Miami roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

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.
