Two ways to read the storm

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 hail-size map of the storm over Madrid, NY on Aug 2, 2026 — 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 Aug 2, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Madrid, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 2, 2026 sits in Madrid's hail record

This was Madrid's 26th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 26th of the 26 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Madrid at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Madrid: the same system put hail over 83 other tracked cities. Nearest: Aliquippa (392 miles southwest, up to 1"); Waynesburg (421 miles southwest, up to 1"); Webster Springs (514 miles southwest, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills from Madrid's Aug 2, 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Madrid roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$84K

Potential roof exposure — 7 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
