Evidence / storm surfaces

How Reynolds saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 11, 2026 · Reynolds, GA

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.

The storm in context

Where Aug 11, 2026 sits in Reynolds's hail record.

This was Reynolds's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 33 days after the Jul 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Reynolds at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Reynolds: the same system put hail over 1,041 other tracked cities, 57 of them in Georgia. Nearest: Ideal (9 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Marshallville (14 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Fort Valley (17 miles east, up to 0.5").

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Reynolds. 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Reynolds 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 21, 2026.
