Evidence / storm surfaces
How Morriston 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.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 29, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 29, 2026 sits in Morriston's hail record.
This was Morriston's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jul 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Morriston at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Morriston: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 43 of them in Florida. Nearest: Bronson (9 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Archer (14 miles north, up to 1.25"); Reddick (14 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Morriston 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Morriston for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Morriston roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
