How Mulberry saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 25, 2026 · Mulberry, FL

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.

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 25, 2026 sits in Mulberry's hail record.

This was Mulberry's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Jul 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mulberry at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mulberry: the same system put hail over 303 other tracked cities, 42 of them in Florida. Nearest: Lithia (9 miles northwest, up to 2"); Plant City (22 miles north, up to 1"); Lakeland (24 miles north, up to 1.25").

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.

Severe hail signal

What 2.5" hail means for Mulberry roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

198 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

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.
