Largest hailstone — the top predictor of roof damage.

Independent storm reports filed with the NWS.
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 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Carlisle, so there is one map to show, not two.
This was Carlisle's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 42 days after the Jan 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Carlisle at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Feb 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Carlisle: the same system put hail over 64 other tracked cities, 18 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Flat Rock (13 miles southwest, up to 1"); Sullivan (13 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Robinson (14 miles west, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Carlisle's Feb 19, 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.
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.

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
