Two ways to read the storm

How Toledo 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.

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 Feb 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Toledo, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Feb 14, 2026 sits in Toledo's hail record

This was Toledo's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Toledo at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Feb 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Toledo: the same system put hail over 21 other tracked cities. Nearest: Dublin (760 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); De Leon (762 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Carlton (768 miles southwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Toledo's Feb 14, 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 Toledo, 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Toledo roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

Other storms in Toledo

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 2, 2026.
