Evidence / storm surfaces
How Ripley 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Jul 1, 2026 sits in Ripley's hail record.
This was Ripley's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 19 days after the Jun 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ripley at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ripley: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 122 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Rienzi (11 miles northeast, up to 1"); Falkner (13 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Walnut (14 miles north, up to 0.75").

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 Ripley. 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.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Ripley roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.
