Two ways to read the storm

How Okeechobee saw the hail — from two instruments

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 map of the storm over Okeechobee, FL on Jun 24, 2026 — 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 30 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: Lorida (18 miles west, up to 0.5"); Vero Beach (28 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Indiantown (30 miles southeast, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Okeechobee's Jun 24, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1.25" hail means for Okeechobee roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$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.

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.
