Two ways to read the storm

How Ogdensburg 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 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 Jul 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ogdensburg, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 14, 2026 sits in Ogdensburg's hail record

This was Ogdensburg's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jul 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ogdensburg at 2.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ogdensburg: the same system put hail over 130 other tracked cities, 19 of them in New York. Nearest: Heuvelton (7 miles south, up to 2.5"); Rensselaer Falls (12 miles east, up to 0.75"); De Kalb Junction (14 miles southeast, up to 2.75").

These maps are stills from Ogdensburg's Jul 14, 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.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 2.25" hail means for Ogdensburg roofs

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

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.
