How Oklahoma City 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures
Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Oklahoma City's hail record
This was Oklahoma City's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Oklahoma City at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Oklahoma City: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 231 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Newcastle (6 miles west, up to 1.75"); Norman (7 miles southeast, up to 1"); Noble (15 miles south, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills from Oklahoma City's Jul 4, 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.

What 1.75" hail means for Oklahoma City 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.

ground reports
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.
