How Shoals saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Shoals, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Shoals's hail record
This was Shoals's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shoals at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
