How Medina 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.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 31, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Mar 31, 2026 sits in Medina's hail record
This was Medina's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Medina at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Medina: the same system put hail over 522 other tracked cities, 40 of them in Ohio. Nearest: New London (32 miles west, up to 0.75"); Vermilion (39 miles west, up to 1"); Middlefield (39 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Medina's Mar 31, 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.
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.

How the storm moved
Reports came from Brunswick — beyond Medina itself.
What 1" hail means for Medina 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 Medina
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 2, 2026.
