Evidence / storm surfaces

How Spring Hill saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 19, 2026 · Spring Hill, FL

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.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

The storm in context

Where Aug 19, 2026 sits in Spring Hill's hail record.

This was Spring Hill's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 33 days after the Jul 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Spring Hill at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Spring Hill: the same system put hail over 496 other tracked cities, 86 of them in Florida. Nearest: Hudson (8 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); New Port Richey (14 miles south, up to 0.75"); Brooksville (14 miles northeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Spring Hill 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Spring Hill. 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 Spring Hill 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 30, 2026.
