Hail in Iberia Jul 2, 2026
Hit 32 days agoBoth radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 16 hail signatures up to 2.5", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.25" aloft. At 2.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Iberia 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.
NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
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.
Where Jul 2, 2026 sits in Iberia's hail record
This was Iberia's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 40 days after the May 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Iberia at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Iberia: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 10 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Ulman (0 miles north, up to 2.5"); Tuscumbia (9 miles northwest, up to 2.5"); Saint Elizabeth (9 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Iberia's Jul 2, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Iberia 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.
What 2.5" hail means for Iberia roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
