Two ways to read the storm

How Orlando 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.

The storm in context

Where Jun 29, 2026 sits in Orlando's hail record

This was Orlando's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 21 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Orlando at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Orlando: the same system put hail over 702 other tracked cities, 49 of them in Florida. Nearest: Winter Garden (7 miles north, up to 1.75"); Clermont (14 miles northwest, up to 2"); Montverde (15 miles northwest, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills from Orlando's Jun 29, 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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Orlando. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Widespread claimable damage

What 1.75" hail means for Orlando roofs

At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$76M

Potential roof exposure — 6,344 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
