Two ways to read the storm

How Medford saw the hail — from two instruments

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Medford, OK on May 29, 2026 — The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

The storm in context

Where May 29, 2026 sits in Medford's hail record

This was Medford's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 36 days after the Apr 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Medford at 1.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Medford: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 44 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Pond Creek (9 miles southwest, up to 1.75"); Deer Creek (15 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Enid (21 miles south, up to 2.25").

These maps are stills from Medford's May 29, 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.

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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1.25" hail means for Medford 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.
