How Unionville saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 15, 2026 · Unionville, MO

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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Unionville, MO on Apr 15, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Unionville, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Apr 15, 2026 sits in Unionville's hail record.

This was Unionville's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Apr 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Unionville at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Apr 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Unionville: the same system put hail over 425 other tracked cities, 59 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Exline (14 miles north, up to 0.75"); Cincinnati (15 miles north, up to 0.75"); Lucerne (21 miles west, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Unionville 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Unionville. 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Unionville roofs.

A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 15, 2026.
