How Okeechobee saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 24, 2026 · Okeechobee, FL

Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Okeechobee, FL on Jun 24, 2026 Estimated size field

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Okeechobee, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Okeechobee's hail record.

This was Okeechobee's 16th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 37 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Okeechobee at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Okeechobee: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 48 of them in Florida. Nearest: Indiantown (20 miles east, up to 1"); Lorida (20 miles west, up to 0.5"); Lake Placid (22 miles west, up to 0.5").

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.

What people on the ground reported

1 report 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

Reports came from Fort Drum — beyond Okeechobee itself.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1.25" hail means for Okeechobee roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

6,820 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$82M

Potential roof exposure — 6,820 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 6,820 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.

Claim window

June 2028

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

Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $1,432 on top of the $150 plan.

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.
