How Joplin saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Joplin, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 7, 2026 sits in Joplin's hail record
This was Joplin's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 40 days after the Apr 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Joplin at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Joplin: the same system put hail over 237 other tracked cities, 18 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Riverton (8 miles west, up to 0.5"); Galena (11 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Neosho (15 miles south, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Joplin's Jun 7, 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 Joplin 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 0.75" hail means for Joplin roofs
Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.
