How Franklin saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 22, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jul 22, 2026 sits in Franklin's hail record
This was Franklin's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the Jun 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Franklin at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Franklin: the same system put hail over 158 other tracked cities, 14 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Bloomington (0 miles north, up to 0"); Alma (22 miles west, up to 1"); Orleans (27 miles west, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Franklin's Jul 22, 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 Franklin 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 0" hail means for Franklin roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
