Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sperry 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 Apr 17, 2026 sits in Sperry's hail record.
This was Sperry's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 42 days after the Mar 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sperry at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sperry: the same system put hail over 1,016 other tracked cities, 109 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Osage (11 miles west, up to 1"); Collinsville (13 miles northeast, up to 1"); Skiatook (14 miles north, up to 1").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Sperry. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Sperry 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.
