Evidence / storm surfaces
How Saint Augustine 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 23, 2026 sits in Saint Augustine's hail record.
This was Saint Augustine's 17th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Aug 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 18th of the 20 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Saint Augustine at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Saint Augustine: the same system put hail over 185 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Florida. Nearest: Wellborn (86 miles west, up to 0.5"); Crawfordville (174 miles west, up to 0.5"); Port Saint Lucie (186 miles south, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 20 Saint Augustine 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
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 Saint Augustine. 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 Saint Augustine 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.
