Two ways to read the storm

How Vero Beach saw the hail — from two instruments

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.

NEXRAD radar signatures

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.

Where Jul 10, 2026 sits in Vero Beach's hail record

This was Vero Beach's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Jun 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Vero Beach at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Vero Beach: the same system put hail over 682 other tracked cities, 89 of them in Florida. Nearest: Fort Pierce (18 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Port Saint Lucie (22 miles south, up to 1.5"); Palm Bay (23 miles northwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Vero Beach's Jul 10, 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.

For this storm over Vero Beach, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Vero Beach roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

Other storms in Vero Beach

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.
