Two ways to read the storm

How Naples 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 Naples, FL on Apr 2, 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 Apr 2, 2026 sits in Naples's hail record

This was Naples's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 28 days after the Mar 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 19th of the 26 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Naples at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Apr 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Naples: the same system put hail over 160 other tracked cities, 6 of them in Florida. Nearest: Bonita Springs (9 miles northeast, up to 1"); Fort Myers (21 miles north, up to 1.5"); Lehigh Acres (22 miles north, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Naples's Apr 2, 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Naples 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Naples 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$804K

Potential roof exposure — 67 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
