Evidence / storm surfaces
How Hermon 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Hermon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 23, 2026 sits in Hermon's hail record.
This was Hermon's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 20 days after the Mar 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hermon at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hermon: the same system put hail over 2 other tracked cities. Nearest: Volcano (4996 miles west, up to 2.5"); Pahoa (5000 miles west, up to 2.5").

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 Hermon, 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 Hermon 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.
