Two ways to read the storm

How Saint Cloud 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.

Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 30, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 30, 2026 sits in Saint Cloud's hail record

This was Saint Cloud's 15th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jul 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Saint Cloud at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Saint Cloud: the same system put hail over 432 other tracked cities, 69 of them in Florida. Nearest: Haines City (37 miles west, up to 0.75"); Oak Hill (48 miles north, up to 1"); Osteen (52 miles north, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Saint Cloud's Jul 30, 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.

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Saint Cloud. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$276K

Potential roof exposure — 23 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Saint Cloud

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
