Two ways to read the storm

How Fulton saw the hail — from two instruments

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Where Mar 7, 2026 sits in Fulton's hail record

This was Fulton's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Feb 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Fulton at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Mar 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Fulton: the same system put hail over 254 other tracked cities, 41 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Vina (14 miles east, up to 1.25"); New Site (14 miles north, up to 0.5"); Red Bay (16 miles northeast, up to 1.25").

These maps are stills from Fulton's Mar 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.

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Fulton. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Fulton 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.

Other storms in Fulton

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
