How Annapolis 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 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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Annapolis, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Apr 16, 2026 sits in Annapolis's hail record
This was Annapolis's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Apr 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Annapolis at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Annapolis: the same system put hail over 151 other tracked cities, 67 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Des Arc (9 miles southwest, up to 1"); Marquand (16 miles east, up to 1.25"); Piedmont (17 miles south, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Annapolis's Apr 16, 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.
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.

How the storm moved
Reports came from Saco — beyond Annapolis itself.
What 1" hail means for Annapolis roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$3.4M
Potential roof exposure — 284 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed 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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
