Evidence / storm surfaces

How Fishkill saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 7, 2026 · Fishkill, NY

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 map of the storm over Fishkill, NY on Aug 7, 2026 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.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Fishkill, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 7, 2026 sits in Fishkill's hail record.

This was Fishkill's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 1 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Fishkill at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Fishkill: the same system put hail over 709 other tracked cities, 12 of them in New York. Nearest: Monroe (21 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Nanuet (28 miles south, up to 1.25"); Redding (29 miles southeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Fishkill storm date 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Fishkill. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Fishkill 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 8, 2026.
