Evidence / storm surfaces

How Coyle saw the hail — from two instruments

May 8, 2026 · Coyle, OK

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.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

The storm in context

Where May 8, 2026 sits in Coyle's hail record.

This was Coyle's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 35 days after the Apr 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Coyle at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Coyle: the same system put hail over 378 other tracked cities, 115 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Perkins (9 miles east, up to 2.5"); Guthrie (12 miles west, up to 1.75"); Tryon (14 miles east, up to 2.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Coyle 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.

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

Reports came from Langston — beyond Coyle itself.

Severe hail signal

What 2.5" hail means for Coyle 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.
