Evidence / storm surfaces
How Woodward saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 25, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Woodward, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Apr 25, 2026 sits in Woodward's hail record.
This was Woodward's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Apr 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodward at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodward: the same system put hail over 392 other tracked cities, 93 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Sawyer (81 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Isabel (85 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Pratt (87 miles northeast, up to 4").

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 Woodward. 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.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Woodward roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.
