How Woodward saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 15, 2026 · Woodward, OK

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.

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.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Woodward, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 15, 2026 sits in Woodward's hail record.

This was Woodward's 16th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Sep 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodward at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodward: the same system put hail over 169 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Fort Supply (8 miles west, up to 0.5"); Freedom (29 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Arnett (31 miles southwest, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" 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 16, 2026.
