How Mulberry saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 7, 2026 · Mulberry, FL

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Mulberry, FL on Jul 7, 2026 Radar signature field

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

Max size 0.75" Detections 4

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 7, 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 7, 2026 sits in Mulberry's hail record.

This was Mulberry's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mulberry at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mulberry: the same system put hail over 568 other tracked cities, 48 of them in Florida. Nearest: Plant City (22 miles north, up to 0.5"); Zolfo Springs (28 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Frostproof (31 miles east, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Mulberry 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Mulberry. 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 Mulberry 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 22, 2026.
