Evidence / storm surfaces
How Terre Haute 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 Mar 3, 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 Mar 3, 2026 sits in Terre Haute's hail record.
This was Terre Haute's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 11th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Terre Haute at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Terre Haute: the same system put hail over 80 other tracked cities, 2 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Cory (11 miles east, up to 0"); West Terre Haute (17 miles north, up to 0"); Paris (24 miles northwest, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Terre Haute 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Terre Haute. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Terre Haute 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.
