Evidence / storm surfaces
How Palm City 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.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Palm City, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 17, 2026 sits in Palm City's hail record.
This was Palm City's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Palm City at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Palm City: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 71 of them in Florida. Nearest: Port Saint Lucie (11 miles north, up to 0.5"); Fort Pierce (18 miles north, up to 0.75"); Loxahatchee (31 miles south, up to 1.5").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Palm City. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Palm City roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$38M
Potential roof exposure — 3,155 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 16 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$240K
Close just 0.5% of the 3,155 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.
Claim window
July 2028
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $663 on top of the $150 plan.
