Two ways to read the storm

How Oswegatchie saw the hail — from two instruments

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Oswegatchie, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

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

This was Oswegatchie's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Jun 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Oswegatchie at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Oswegatchie: the same system put hail over 130 other tracked cities, 19 of them in New York. Nearest: Russell (6 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Richville (12 miles northwest, up to 2.75"); Newton Falls (12 miles southeast, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Oswegatchie'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.

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 Oswegatchie, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Oswegatchie roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

Other storms in Oswegatchie

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.
