How Mount Pleasant 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.
Radar-estimated hail size
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.
Max size
0.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Mount Pleasant, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jul 11, 2026 sits in Mount Pleasant's hail record
This was Mount Pleasant's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mount Pleasant at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

These maps are stills from Mount Pleasant's Jul 11, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Reports came from Charleston — beyond Mount Pleasant itself.
What 0.5" hail means for Mount Pleasant roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
