Evidence / storm surfaces
How Vero Beach 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 May 10, 2026 sits in Vero Beach's hail record.
This was Vero Beach's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 13th of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Vero Beach at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Vero Beach: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Florida. Nearest: Palm Bay (18 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Sebastian (20 miles east, up to 1.75"); Melbourne (31 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 18 Vero Beach 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Vero Beach. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Vero Beach 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.
