How Madrid 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.
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 May 8, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Madrid, so there is one map to show, not two.

This was Madrid's 16th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the May 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th 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 May 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Madrid: the same system put hail over 378 other tracked cities, 4 of them in New York. Nearest: Rensselaer Falls (15 miles south, up to 1.75"); Carthage (61 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Castorland (64 miles south, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Madrid's May 8, 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.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Madrid for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
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.
