Evidence / storm surfaces
How Gallatin saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Apr 3, 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 Apr 3, 2026 sits in Gallatin's hail record.
This was Gallatin's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Mar 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gallatin at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gallatin: the same system put hail over 367 other tracked cities, 18 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Jameson (7 miles north, up to 1"); Saint Joseph (50 miles west, up to 0.5"); De Kalb (52 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Gallatin 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
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Gallatin for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Gallatin 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.
