How Marshall saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 17, 2026 · Marshall, 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 Apr 17, 2026 sits in Marshall's hail record.

This was Marshall's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Apr 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Marshall at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Marshall: the same system put hail over 1,016 other tracked cities, 109 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Douglas (6 miles west, up to 2.5"); Orlando (8 miles east, up to 2.5"); Bison (11 miles west, up to 2.5").

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

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 Lovell — beyond Marshall itself.

Severe hail signal

What 2.5" hail means for Marshall 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 Sep 13, 2026.
