How Woodland 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.
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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for May 6, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where May 6, 2026 sits in Woodland's hail record
This was Woodland's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Apr 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodland at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodland: the same system put hail over 226 other tracked cities, 67 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Mc Cool (45 miles southwest, up to 1"); Noxapater (56 miles south, up to 1"); Ethel (60 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Woodland's May 6, 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.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Woodland for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 1" hail means for Woodland roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
