Evidence / storm surfaces

How Archie saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 21, 2026 · Archie, MO

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Archie, MO on Aug 21, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 1"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Archie, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 21, 2026 sits in Archie's hail record.

This was Archie's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 65 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Archie at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Archie: the same system put hail over 659 other tracked cities, 5 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Adrian (9 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Harrisonville (14 miles north, up to 1"); Peculiar (15 miles north, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Archie 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.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Archie 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 Aug 22, 2026.
