Evidence / storm surfaces
How Ringling saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
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 Sep 21, 2026 sits in Ringling's hail record.
This was Ringling's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 44 days after the Aug 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ringling at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ringling: the same system put hail over 498 other tracked cities, 12 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Saint Jo (12 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Healdton (15 miles north, up to 0.75"); Muenster (18 miles southeast, up to 1.25").

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 Ringling, 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Ringling roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
