Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mandaree 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.
Radar signature field 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Aug 23, 2026 sits in Mandaree's hail record.
This was Mandaree's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 49 days after the Jul 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mandaree at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mandaree: the same system put hail over 185 other tracked cities, 20 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: New Town (25 miles north, up to 1"); Plaza (34 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Berthold (53 miles northeast, 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.
Wind reports
1 reportSevere hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Mandaree roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.
