Evidence / storm surfaces
How Stuart 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Stuart, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 7, 2026 sits in Stuart's hail record.
This was Stuart's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Aug 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Stuart at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Stuart: the same system put hail over 163 other tracked cities, 9 of them in Florida. Nearest: Palm City (11 miles north, up to 0.75"); Port Saint Lucie (22 miles north, up to 0.75"); West Palm Beach (24 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Stuart 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Stuart 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Stuart 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$1.1M
Potential roof exposure — 90 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $19 on top of the $150 plan.
