Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lawrenceville saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
The storm in context
Where Jul 9, 2026 sits in Lawrenceville's hail record.
This was Lawrenceville's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 18 days after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lawrenceville at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lawrenceville: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 55 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Sumner (15 miles southwest, up to 1"); Oaktown (15 miles northeast, up to 0"); Bone Gap (24 miles southwest, up to 2").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Lawrenceville 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Lawrenceville. 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" hail means for Lawrenceville 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.
