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.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Okeechobee, FL on Jul 14, 2026 — Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Okeechobee, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 14, 2026 sits in Okeechobee's hail record

This was Okeechobee's 28th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 25th of the 30 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Okeechobee at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Okeechobee: the same system put hail over 130 other tracked cities, 14 of them in Florida. Nearest: Lake Placid (31 miles west, up to 0.5"); Palmdale (37 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Saint Cloud (48 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Okeechobee's Jul 14, 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.

For this storm over Okeechobee, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

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

$36K

Potential roof exposure — 3 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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