How Mcloud saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Where Mar 6, 2026 sits in Mcloud's hail record
This was Mcloud's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 57 days after the Jan 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mcloud at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mcloud: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 137 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Newalla (11 miles southwest, up to 1"); Meeker (13 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Tecumseh (14 miles south, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Mcloud's Mar 6, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
What people on the ground reported
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Mcloud for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 1" hail means for Mcloud roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
