Evidence / storm surfaces
How Old Town saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
The storm in context

This was Old Town's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Old Town at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Old Town: the same system put hail over 483 other tracked cities, 51 of them in Florida. Nearest: Cross City (7 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Chiefland (13 miles east, up to 1.25"); Branford (17 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Old Town 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
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 Old Town 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 1.5" hail means for Old Town 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.
