Evidence / storm surfaces
How Shelbyville saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 27, 2026 · Shelbyville, KY
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 Surface resolved
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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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.

The storm in context
Where Jul 27, 2026 sits in Shelbyville's hail record.
This was Shelbyville's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jul 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shelbyville at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Shelbyville: the same system put hail over 803 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Kentucky. Nearest: Bagdad (8 miles east, up to 0.5"); Waddy (14 miles south, up to 0"); La Grange (15 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Shelbyville 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Eminence — beyond Shelbyville itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Shelbyville 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 5, 2026.
