Two ways to read the storm

How Okeechobee saw the hail — from two instruments

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Okeechobee, FL on Jun 27, 2026 — NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

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

This was Okeechobee's 18th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 18th of the 30 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Okeechobee at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Okeechobee: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 50 of them in Florida. Nearest: Avon Park (36 miles west, up to 1"); Moore Haven (41 miles south, up to 1"); Zolfo Springs (45 miles west, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Okeechobee'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.

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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Okeechobee roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$588K

Potential roof exposure — 49 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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.
