How Clinton saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 6, 2026 · Clinton, LA

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 6, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Clinton, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Mar 6, 2026 sits in Clinton's hail record.

This was Clinton's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 5th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Clinton at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Clinton: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Slaughter (14 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Centreville (23 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Woodville (29 miles west, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Clinton 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Clinton for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Clinton roofs.

A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm 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 Aug 24, 2026.
