How Jonesville saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 5, 2026 · Jonesville, 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.

Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

The storm in context

Where Aug 5, 2026 sits in Jonesville's hail record.

This was Jonesville's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 29 days after the Jul 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Jonesville at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Jonesville: the same system put hail over 243 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Monterey (12 miles east, up to 0.75"); Trout (26 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Woodville (43 miles southeast, up to 0.75").

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

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Jonesville 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 8, 2026.
