Evidence / storm surfaces
How Park Hills 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.
Estimated size field 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 5, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Park Hills, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 5, 2026 sits in Park Hills's hail record.
This was Park Hills's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Aug 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Park Hills at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Park Hills: the same system put hail over 514 other tracked cities, 10 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Farmington (11 miles east, up to 0.75"); Bonne Terre (14 miles north, up to 0.75"); Fredericktown (23 miles southeast, up to 0.75").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Park Hills. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Park Hills roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
