How Sapulpa saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 20, 2026 · Sapulpa, OK

Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Sapulpa, OK on Aug 20, 2026 Estimated size field

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Sapulpa, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 20, 2026 sits in Sapulpa's hail record.

This was Sapulpa's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 80 days after the Jun 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sapulpa at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sapulpa: the same system put hail over 640 other tracked cities, 26 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Sand Springs (7 miles north, up to 1.25"); Mounds (7 miles south, up to 1.25"); Sperry (21 miles north, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Sapulpa 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.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1.25" hail means for Sapulpa roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

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.
