Evidence / storm surfaces

How Croswell saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 20, 2026 · Croswell, MI

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.

Max size 1" Detections 0

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 20, 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 20, 2026 sits in Croswell's hail record.

This was Croswell's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 112 days after the Mar 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Croswell at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Croswell: the same system put hail over 553 other tracked cities, 65 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Yale (0 miles north, up to 0"); Sandusky (15 miles north, up to 0"); Put in Bay (104 miles south, up to 0").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 3 Croswell 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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Croswell. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Croswell roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

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 3, 2026.
