Evidence / storm surfaces

How Atoka saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 12, 2026 · Atoka, OK

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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Map image is still rendering for this surface.

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 1"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Atoka, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Atoka's hail record.

This was Atoka's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 60 days after the Jul 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Atoka at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Atoka: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 66 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Lane (11 miles west, up to 0.5"); Stringtown (13 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Ringold (41 miles east, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Atoka 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.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Atoka. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Atoka 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.

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 13, 2026.
