Evidence / storm surfaces
How Webster 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Webster, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 17, 2026 sits in Webster's hail record.
This was Webster's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Webster at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Webster: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 71 of them in Florida. Nearest: Dade City (9 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Center Hill (15 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Wesley Chapel (18 miles southwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 18 Webster 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 Webster 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Webster roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
