How Galliano saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 5, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

This was Galliano's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jul 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Galliano at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Galliano: the same system put hail over 971 other tracked cities, 102 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Golden Meadow (7 miles south, up to 0.5"); Braithwaite (31 miles northeast, up to 1"); Westwego (35 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Galliano's Jul 5, 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.
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.
For this storm over Galliano, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
What 0.5" hail means for Galliano roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
