Two ways to read the storm

How Woodland Park 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-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Woodland Park, NJ on Jul 15, 2026

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.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Woodland Park, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 15, 2026 sits in Woodland Park's hail record

This was Woodland Park's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodland Park at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodland Park: the same system put hail over 114 other tracked cities, 9 of them in New Jersey. Nearest: Little Falls (0 miles north, up to 0.5"); Livingston (9 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Short Hills (15 miles south, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Woodland Park's Jul 15, 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.

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.

For this storm over Woodland Park, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Woodland Park 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.

Other storms in Woodland Park

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 1, 2026.
