Evidence / storm surfaces

How Vinita saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 6, 2026 · Vinita, 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.

The storm in context

Where Mar 6, 2026 sits in Vinita's hail record.

This was Vinita's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 13th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Vinita at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Vinita: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 137 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Bluejacket (11 miles north, up to 1"); Grove (14 miles east, up to 1.75"); Strang (17 miles south, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 Vinita 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Vinita. 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 Vinita 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 Sep 13, 2026.
