The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 2" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Qulin this day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

Largest hailstone — the top predictor of roof damage.

Independent storm reports filed with the NWS.
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.
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 28, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Qulin, so there is one map to show, not two.
This was Qulin's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Apr 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Qulin at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Qulin: the same system put hail over 724 other tracked cities, 115 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Neelyville (14 miles west, up to 2"); Piggott (15 miles south, up to 1.5"); Naylor (17 miles west, up to 2").
These maps are stills from Qulin's Apr 28, 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.
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.
“A brief EF0 tornado touched down near the intersection of CR 339 and CR 321 northwest of Pollard. When the tornado touched down... a large tree was uprooted... damaging (MEG)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
Reports came from Pollard — beyond Qulin itself.
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.
