Evidence / storm surfaces

How Clinton saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 9, 2026 · Clinton, MO

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.

Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

The storm in context

Where Jul 9, 2026 sits in Clinton's hail record.

This was Clinton's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Clinton at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Clinton: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 140 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Montrose (6 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Appleton City (9 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Calhoun (19 miles northeast, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Clinton 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 Clinton 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.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

111 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$1.3M

Potential roof exposure — 111 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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 10, 2026.
