Evidence / storm surfaces
How Roxie 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 Aug 21, 2026 sits in Roxie's hail record.
This was Roxie's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 44 days after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Roxie at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Roxie: the same system put hail over 659 other tracked cities, 53 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Meadville (9 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Fayette (14 miles north, up to 0.5"); Natchez (15 miles west, 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.
For this storm over Roxie, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Roxie 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$696K
Potential roof exposure — 58 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
