Two ways to read the storm

How Munfordville 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.

NEXRAD radar signatures

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.

Where Apr 27, 2026 sits in Munfordville's hail record

This was Munfordville's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 26 days after the Apr 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Munfordville at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Munfordville: the same system put hail over 1,188 other tracked cities, 76 of them in Kentucky. Nearest: Magnolia (6 miles northeast, up to 1"); Upton (10 miles north, up to 0"); Big Clifty (15 miles northwest, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Munfordville's Apr 27, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Munfordville roofs

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.

Other storms in Munfordville

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
