Evidence / storm surfaces
How Shreveport saw the hail — from two instruments
May 22, 2026 · Shreveport, 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 Surface resolved
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
0.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Shreveport, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 22, 2026 sits in Shreveport's hail record.
This was Shreveport's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the May 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shreveport at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Shreveport: the same system put hail over 417 other tracked cities, 34 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Bossier City (14 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Stonewall (15 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Waskom (15 miles west, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Shreveport 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.

Hail reports
1 reportBelow the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Shreveport 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 Aug 27, 2026.
