How Okmulgee saw the hail — from two instruments
May 8, 2026 · Okmulgee, OK
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 Surface resolved
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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

The storm in context
Where May 8, 2026 sits in Okmulgee's hail record.
This was Okmulgee's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Apr 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Okmulgee at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Okmulgee: the same system put hail over 378 other tracked cities, 115 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Beggs (10 miles north, up to 2.5"); Morris (11 miles east, up to 2.5"); Boynton (17 miles east, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Okmulgee 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.

How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked south at roughly 10 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 122 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Liberty and Eram — beyond Okmulgee itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Okmulgee roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 21, 2026.
