Evidence / storm surfaces
How Toronto 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 signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 25, 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 Jun 25, 2026 sits in Toronto's hail record.
This was Toronto's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Toronto at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Toronto: the same system put hail over 395 other tracked cities, 95 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Hamilton (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Fall River (11 miles south, up to 1.75"); Eureka (14 miles west, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Toronto 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 Toronto. 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Toronto roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.
