Evidence / storm surfaces
How Martinsville saw the hail — from two instruments
Feb 19, 2026 · Martinsville, IL
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
0.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Feb 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Martinsville, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context

This was Martinsville's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 7th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Martinsville at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

Hail reports
1 reportBelow the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Martinsville 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 12, 2026.
