Evidence / storm surfaces
How Raymond 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.
Radar signature field 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Raymond's hail record.
This was Raymond's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 66 days after the Apr 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Raymond at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Raymond: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 60 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Utica (10 miles south, up to 1"); Jackson (18 miles northeast, up to 1"); Hermanville (18 miles southwest, 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 Raymond. 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Raymond roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.
