Hail in Ogdensburg · Jul 14, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.25" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Ogdensburg that day. At 2.25" — tennis ball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Ogdensburg saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 14, 2026 · Ogdensburg, 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
Estimated size field 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
2.25"
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. In the app this date is one of 3 Ogdensburg 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.

Severe hail signal
What 2.25" hail means for Ogdensburg roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 3, 2026.
