How Hennessey saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 26, 2026 · Hennessey, 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.

The storm in context

Where Jun 26, 2026 sits in Hennessey's hail record.

This was Hennessey's 15th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hennessey at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hennessey: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 110 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Ames (7 miles north, up to 2.5"); Loyal (7 miles south, up to 2.5"); Okeene (12 miles west, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 Hennessey 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 Hennessey. 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.

Severe hail signal

What 2.5" hail means for Hennessey 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 8, 2026.
