Evidence / storm surfaces
How Medford 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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Apr 22, 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 Apr 22, 2026 sits in Medford's hail record.
This was Medford's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Apr 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 20th of the 22 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Medford at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Medford: the same system put hail over 152 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Braman (20 miles east, up to 1.75"); Peabody (100 miles north, up to 1.75"); Lawton (398 miles north, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 22 Medford 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
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 Medford 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" 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.
