Evidence / storm surfaces
How Moravian Falls saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 18, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Moravian Falls, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 18, 2026 sits in Moravian Falls's hail record.
This was Moravian Falls's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Moravian Falls at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Moravian Falls: the same system put hail over 377 other tracked cities, 17 of them in North Carolina. Nearest: Hamptonville (11 miles east, up to 0.5"); Traphill (15 miles north, up to 0.5"); State Road (22 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Moravian Falls 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 Moravian Falls. 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 Moravian Falls 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
$7.6M
Potential roof exposure — 637 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 3 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$45K
Close just 0.5% of the 637 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
