Evidence / storm surfaces
How Newfield saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 12, 2026 · Newfield, NY
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 Surface resolved

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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Newfield, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 12, 2026 sits in Newfield's hail record.
This was Newfield's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 40 days after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Newfield at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Newfield: the same system put hail over 507 other tracked cities, 22 of them in New York. Nearest: Alpine (5 miles west, up to 1"); Spencer (9 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Burdett (12 miles northwest, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 2 Newfield 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Newfield roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
1,029 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$12M
Potential roof exposure — 1,029 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 13, 2026.
