How Parrish saw the hail — from two instruments

May 20, 2026 · Parrish, FL

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-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Parrish, FL on May 20, 2026 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.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Parrish, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where May 20, 2026 sits in Parrish's hail record.

This was Parrish's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the Apr 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Parrish at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Parrish: the same system put hail over 109 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Florida. Nearest: Wimauma (9 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Bradenton (10 miles south, up to 0.5"); Riverview (15 miles northeast, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Parrish 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Parrish. 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Parrish roofs.

A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 15, 2026.
