Evidence / storm surfaces
How Saint Cloud saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Jul 6, 2026 sits in Saint Cloud's hail record.
This was Saint Cloud's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jun 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 15th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Saint Cloud at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Saint Cloud: the same system put hail over 832 other tracked cities, 40 of them in Florida. Nearest: Kissimmee (10 miles west, up to 1.5"); Kenansville (14 miles south, up to 1.75"); Davenport (18 miles west, up to 1").

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.
For this storm over Saint Cloud, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Saint Cloud roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.
