Evidence / storm surfaces
How Carthage 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.
Radar signature field 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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 3, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 3, 2026 sits in Carthage's hail record.
This was Carthage's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jul 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Carthage at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Carthage: the same system put hail over 1,885 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Kosciusko (11 miles north, up to 0.5"); Ethel (22 miles north, up to 0.75"); Shuqualak (53 miles east, up to 1").

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 Carthage. 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 Carthage 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.
