Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mcloud saw the hail — from two instruments
Jan 8, 2026 · Mcloud, 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.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jan 8, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jan 8, 2026 sits in Mcloud's hail record.
This was Mcloud's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mcloud at 1.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jan 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mcloud: the same system put hail over 35 other tracked cities, 15 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Maud (20 miles southeast, up to 1"); Lexington (22 miles south, up to 1"); Seminole (26 miles east, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Mcloud 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Mcloud roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
880 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$11M
Potential roof exposure — 880 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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.
