How Saint Cloud saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 6, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Saint Cloud, so there is one map to show, not two.

This was Saint Cloud's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 21 days after the Mar 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Saint Cloud at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Saint Cloud: the same system put hail over 12 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Florida. Nearest: Palm Bay (21 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Okeechobee (48 miles south, up to 1.25"); Webster (76 miles west, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Saint Cloud's Apr 6, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Saint Cloud for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 0.5" hail means for Saint Cloud roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
