Hail in Lisbon · Mar 16, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 3" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Lisbon that day. At 3" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lisbon 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 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lisbon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 16, 2026 sits in Lisbon's hail record.
This was Lisbon's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Mar 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 30 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lisbon at 3" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lisbon: the same system put hail over 58 other tracked cities, 1 of them in New York. Nearest: Madrid (7 miles north, up to 3"); Medway (332 miles east, up to 0.5"); Springfield (346 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 30 Lisbon 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.
For this storm over Lisbon, 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.
Severe hail signal
What 3" hail means for Lisbon roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$1.4M
Potential roof exposure — 115 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 115 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $24 on top of the $150 plan.
