How Wann saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 28, 2026 · Wann, 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 Apr 28, 2026 sits in Wann's hail record.

This was Wann's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Apr 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wann at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wann: the same system put hail over 724 other tracked cities, 141 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: S Coffeyville (6 miles east, up to 2.25"); Copan (11 miles west, up to 1.75"); Lenapah (11 miles east, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Wann 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.

For this storm over Wann, 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.

Severe hail signal

What 2" hail means for Wann roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 Aug 3, 2026.
