Evidence / storm surfaces
How Tahlequah 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.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 4, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 4, 2026 sits in Tahlequah's hail record.
This was Tahlequah's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 12th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Tahlequah at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Tahlequah: the same system put hail over 303 other tracked cities, 55 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Proctor (7 miles north, up to 1"); Hulbert (8 miles west, up to 0.5"); Vian (21 miles south, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Tahlequah 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Tahlequah. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Tahlequah 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.
