Evidence / storm surfaces
How Pompano Beach 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
Where Aug 19, 2026 sits in Pompano Beach's hail record.
This was Pompano Beach's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the Jul 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pompano Beach at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pompano Beach: the same system put hail over 496 other tracked cities, 86 of them in Florida. Nearest: Fort Lauderdale (12 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Stuart (49 miles north, up to 0.5"); Clewiston (51 miles west, up to 0.75").

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 Pompano Beach. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Pompano Beach 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
$27M
Potential roof exposure — 2,236 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

- Illustrative work
- ~$165K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,236 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.
