Evidence / storm surfaces

How Monson saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 2, 2026 · Monson, MA

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 2, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 2, 2026 sits in Monson's hail record.

This was Monson's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 1 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Monson at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Monson: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities. Nearest: Canaan (60 miles west, up to 1"); East Chatham (65 miles west, up to 1"); Ghent (68 miles west, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Monson storm date 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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Monson. 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" hail means for Monson 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 3, 2026.
