Two ways to read the storm

How Ringwood 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.

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

The storm in context

Where Apr 26, 2026 sits in Ringwood's hail record

This was Ringwood's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Apr 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ringwood at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ringwood: the same system put hail over 710 other tracked cities, 28 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Cleo Springs (6 miles west, up to 1"); Goltry (11 miles northeast, up to 0"); Helena (14 miles north, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Ringwood's Apr 26, 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Ringwood for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Ringwood 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$156K

Potential roof exposure — 13 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Ringwood

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 2, 2026.
