Two ways to read the storm

How Ponca 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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Ponca City, OK on Jun 21, 2026

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.

Max size 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ponca City, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Ponca City's hail record

This was Ponca City's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ponca City at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ponca City: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 154 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Newkirk (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Braman (18 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); South Haven (22 miles northwest, up to 1.25").

These maps are stills from Ponca City's Jun 21, 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.

For this storm over Ponca City, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1.25" hail means for Ponca City 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.

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.
