Evidence / storm surfaces
How Galatia 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 signature field 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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for May 31, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 31, 2026 sits in Galatia's hail record.
This was Galatia's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 34 days after the Apr 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Galatia at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Galatia: the same system put hail over 637 other tracked cities, 60 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Mc Leansboro (9 miles northeast, up to 0"); Marion (18 miles southwest, up to 1"); Golconda (31 miles south, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Galatia 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 Galatia 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.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Galatia roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.
