Evidence / storm surfaces
How Glencoe saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
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.
The storm in context
Where May 8, 2026 sits in Glencoe's hail record.
This was Glencoe's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Apr 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Glencoe at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Glencoe: the same system put hail over 378 other tracked cities, 115 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Stillwater (8 miles west, up to 1.75"); Morrison (11 miles northwest, up to 1.75"); Pawnee (15 miles northeast, up to 2.75").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 12 minutes, from to .
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for Glencoe 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$9.7M
Potential roof exposure — 806 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
