Evidence / storm surfaces
How Ardmore saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 6, 2026 · Ardmore, OK
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

The storm in context
Where Mar 6, 2026 sits in Ardmore's hail record.
This was Ardmore's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Mar 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ardmore at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ardmore: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 137 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Springer (7 miles northwest, up to 1"); Davis (11 miles north, up to 1"); Mannsville (12 miles east, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Ardmore 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 Ardmore 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.
627 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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 Sep 11, 2026.
