Evidence / storm surfaces
How Medford 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Medford, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Medford's hail record.
This was Medford's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Mar 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 19th of the 22 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Medford at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Medford: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 49 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Caldwell (14 miles north, up to 1.5"); Wakita (17 miles west, up to 0.75"); Bluff City (22 miles northwest, up to 1.5").

Ground reports
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Medford. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Medford roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$204K
Potential roof exposure — 17 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $4 on top of the $150 plan.
