Severity
The 14th most severe storm Sayre has seen in the last 12 months
Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.
- Peak hail signal

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sayre saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
The storm in context
Where Jul 12, 2026 sits in Sayre's hail record.
This was Sayre's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Jun 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sayre at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sayre: the same system put hail over 367 other tracked cities, 14 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Carter (16 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Canute (25 miles east, up to 0.5"); Mangum (28 miles south, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Sayre 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.
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 Sayre, 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Sayre roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
