Evidence / storm surfaces
How Saucier saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Saucier, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 7, 2026 sits in Saucier's hail record.
This was Saucier's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 28 days after the Jul 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Saucier at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Saucier: the same system put hail over 709 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Lumberton (28 miles north, up to 0.75"); Brooklyn (36 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Tylertown (64 miles northwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Saucier storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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 Saucier. 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 Saucier 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.
