The estimated-size surface reached 0.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Parrish that day. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Evidence / storm surfaces
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 May 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Parrish, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Parrish's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the May 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th 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 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Parrish: the same system put hail over 259 other tracked cities, 4 of them in Florida. Nearest: Palmetto (6 miles west, up to 0.75"); Bradenton (10 miles south, up to 0.75"); Lake Wales (62 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
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
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.
“A resident of the area reported seeing the tornado lifting debris over an open field in a construction site. The circulation dissipated shortly after. (TBW)”

Near the severe threshold
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.

Roofing exposure
Potential roof exposure
$21M
Potential roof exposure — 1,732 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 1,732 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
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 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 $364 on top of the $150 plan.
