How Doyline saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 7, 2026 · Doyline, 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.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Doyline, LA on Sep 7, 2026 Estimated size field

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.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Doyline, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 7, 2026 sits in Doyline's hail record.

This was Doyline's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 77 days after the Jun 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Doyline at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Doyline: the same system put hail over 163 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Ringgold (9 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Castor (18 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Coushatta (24 miles southeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 3 Doyline 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 Doyline 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 Doyline 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 Sep 8, 2026.
