Evidence / storm surfaces
How Okemah saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 6, 2026 · Okemah, OK
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 signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

The storm in context
Where Mar 6, 2026 sits in Okemah's hail record.
This was Okemah's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Okemah at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Okemah: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 137 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Castle (10 miles north, up to 1"); Boley (12 miles northwest, up to 1.75"); Seminole (12 miles west, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Okemah 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Okemah roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
765 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$9.2M
Potential roof exposure — 765 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 8, 2026.
