Evidence / storm surfaces

How Woodward saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 26, 2026 · Woodward, OK

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Max size 0" Detections 0

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Apr 26, 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 Apr 26, 2026 sits in Woodward's hail record.

This was Woodward's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Apr 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 17th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodward at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Apr 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodward: the same system put hail over 710 other tracked cities, 28 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Mutual (24 miles southeast, up to 0"); Chester (34 miles southeast, up to 0"); Fairview (44 miles east, up to 1").

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

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Woodward for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Below the severe threshold

What 0" hail means for Woodward roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 20, 2026.
