Evidence / storm surfaces
How Crossville saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Aug 22, 2026 sits in Crossville's hail record.
This was Crossville's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Aug 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Crossville at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Crossville: the same system put hail over 501 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Tennessee. Nearest: Sparta (4 miles northwest, up to 1"); Monterey (19 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Clarkrange (26 miles north, up to 1").

The storm tracked south at roughly 25 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 35 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Pleasant Hill and Monterey — beyond Crossville itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Crossville roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.
