Evidence / storm surfaces
How Texarkana 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 signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 6, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 6, 2026 sits in Texarkana's hail record.
This was Texarkana's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 9th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Texarkana at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Texarkana: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 54 of them in Texas. Nearest: Atlanta (15 miles southwest, up to 0"); Saratoga (18 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Fouke (23 miles southeast, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Texarkana 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.
For this storm over Texarkana, 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Texarkana 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.
