Evidence / storm surfaces
How Berthold 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 Aug 9, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Berthold, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 9, 2026 sits in Berthold's hail record.
This was Berthold's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 28 days after the Jul 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Berthold at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Berthold: the same system put hail over 453 other tracked cities. Nearest: Reserve (137 miles west, up to 0.5"); Flaxville (157 miles west, up to 0.5"); Scobey (171 miles west, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Berthold 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Berthold 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Berthold 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.
