How Okeechobee saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 15, 2026 · Okeechobee, 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 Mar 15, 2026 sits in Okeechobee's hail record.

This was Okeechobee's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Mar 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 37 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Okeechobee at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Mar 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Okeechobee: the same system put hail over 695 other tracked cities, 66 of them in Florida. Nearest: Lake Placid (22 miles west, up to 1"); Sebring (42 miles northwest, up to 1"); Frostproof (50 miles northwest, up to 2").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 37 Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee 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.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Okeechobee roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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.
