Two ways to read the storm

How Mill Creek 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.

NEXRAD radar signatures

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where Apr 25, 2026 sits in Mill Creek's hail record

This was Mill Creek's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Apr 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mill Creek at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mill Creek: the same system put hail over 392 other tracked cities, 93 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Roff (11 miles north, up to 1.75"); Fittstown (13 miles northeast, up to 1"); Sulphur (13 miles northwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Mill Creek's Apr 25, 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.

Widespread claimable damage

What 1.75" hail means for Mill Creek roofs

At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.

Other storms in Mill Creek

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
