How Deridder saw the hail — from two instruments

Jan 9, 2026 · Deridder, LA

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

Max size 0" Detections 0

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jan 9, 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 Jan 9, 2026 sits in Deridder's hail record.

This was Deridder's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 15th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Deridder at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jan 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Deridder: the same system put hail over 43 other tracked cities, 10 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Dequincy (23 miles southwest, up to 0"); Atlanta (77 miles north, up to 0.75"); Coushatta (97 miles north, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Deridder 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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Deridder. 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0" hail means for Deridder 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.

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 15, 2026.
