How Shawnee saw the hail — from two instruments
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.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Apr 3, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Apr 3, 2026 sits in Shawnee's hail record
This was Shawnee's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 24 days after the Mar 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shawnee at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Shawnee: the same system put hail over 367 other tracked cities, 96 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Harrah (13 miles northwest, up to 0"); Prague (17 miles northeast, up to 0"); Sparks (21 miles northeast, up to 0").
These maps are stills from Shawnee's Apr 3, 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.
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.

How the storm moved
Reports came from Little — beyond Shawnee itself.
What 0" hail means for Shawnee roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

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.
