How Gainesville saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Gainesville, so there is one map to show, not two.

This was Gainesville's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gainesville at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gainesville: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 3 of them in Texas. Nearest: Nocona (28 miles west, up to 0.5"); Ringling (38 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Loco (52 miles northwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Gainesville's Jun 21, 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.
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.
For this storm over Gainesville, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
What 0.5" hail means for Gainesville 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.
