Two ways to read the storm

How Ocala 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.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Ocala, FL on Jun 27, 2026 — 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 Jun 27, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ocala, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Ocala's hail record

This was Ocala's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ocala at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ocala: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 50 of them in Florida. Nearest: Silver Springs (25 miles east, up to 2.25"); Fort Mc Coy (37 miles northeast, up to 2.25"); Hollister (41 miles northeast, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills from Ocala's Jun 27, 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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Ocala. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Ocala 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

$4.7M

Potential roof exposure — 390 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
