Hail in Woodward · Aug 24, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 3.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Woodward that day. At 3.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Woodward saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Woodward, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 24, 2026 sits in Woodward's hail record.
This was Woodward's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Aug 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodward at 3.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodward: the same system put hail over 232 other tracked cities. Nearest: Atwood (272 miles north, up to 0.5"); Culbertson (273 miles north, up to 0.5"); Stratton (285 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 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
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Woodward. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Severe hail signal
What 3.5" hail means for Woodward 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$660K
Potential roof exposure — 55 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $12 on top of the $150 plan.
