Two ways to read the storm

How Munising saw the hail — from two instruments

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
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Munising, MI on May 25, 2026

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 25, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Munising, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where May 25, 2026 sits in Munising's hail record

This was Munising's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Munising at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Munising: the same system put hail over 156 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Au Train (10 miles west, up to 0.5"); Finland (223 miles west, up to 1"); Fairfax (407 miles west, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Munising's May 25, 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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Munising. 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Munising 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.

Other storms in Munising

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.
