Two ways to read the storm

How Madrid 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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Madrid, NY on Feb 22, 2026

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.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Feb 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Madrid, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Feb 22, 2026 sits in Madrid's hail record

This was Madrid's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the Jan 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 15th of the 26 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Madrid at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Feb 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Madrid: the same system put hail over 4 other tracked cities, 1 of them in New York. Nearest: Little Valley (250 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Igo (2427 miles west, up to 1.5"); Douglas City (2444 miles west, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills from Madrid's Feb 22, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

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 Madrid, 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 Madrid roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$768K

Potential roof exposure — 64 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around February 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
