Two ways to read the storm

How Mansfield saw the hail — from two instruments

Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Mansfield, LA on May 22, 2026

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Mansfield, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where May 22, 2026 sits in Mansfield's hail record

This was Mansfield's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the May 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mansfield at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mansfield: the same system put hail over 417 other tracked cities, 34 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Grand Cane (12 miles west, up to 0.5"); Frierson (15 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Stonewall (18 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Mansfield's May 22, 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.

Ground reports

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Mansfield. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Mansfield 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$216K

Other storms in Mansfield

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
