Evidence / storm surfaces

How Naples saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 20, 2026 · Naples, 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Naples, FL on Apr 20, 2026 Estimated size field

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 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Naples, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Apr 20, 2026 sits in Naples's hail record.

This was Naples's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Apr 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 32nd of the 35 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Naples at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Apr 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Naples: the same system put hail over 6 other tracked cities, 3 of them in Florida. Nearest: Immokalee (36 miles east, up to 0.5"); Hollywood (85 miles east, up to 0.5"); Homestead (97 miles southeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 35 Naples 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.

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.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 30, 2026.
