Evidence / storm surfaces

How Freedom saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 19, 2026 · Freedom, OK

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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Freedom, OK on Sep 19, 2026 Estimated size field

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

Max size 1.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Freedom, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Freedom's hail record.

This was Freedom's 13th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Sep 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Freedom at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Freedom: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 16 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Mooreland (17 miles south, up to 1.75"); Waynoka (22 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Woodward (25 miles southwest, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Freedom 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.

High damage potential

What 1.5" hail means for Freedom roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 20, 2026.
