Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lisbon saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lisbon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 7, 2026 sits in Lisbon's hail record.
This was Lisbon's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the May 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 19th of the 30 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lisbon at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lisbon: the same system put hail over 48 other tracked cities, 1 of them in New York. Nearest: Richville (21 miles south, up to 1"); Midway (1037 miles southwest, up to 2.25"); Banks (1061 miles southwest, up to 2.25").
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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Lisbon roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
