Evidence / storm surfaces
How Hermon 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 6, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Hermon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 6, 2026 sits in Hermon's hail record.
This was Hermon's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jul 2, 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 Jul 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hermon: the same system put hail over 832 other tracked cities, 2 of them in New York. Nearest: Rensselaer Falls (8 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Gouverneur (17 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Saint Marys (269 miles southwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Hermon storm dates 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
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Hermon. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
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.
