Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cedar City 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.
Estimated size field 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cedar City, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 19, 2026 sits in Cedar City's hail record.
This was Cedar City's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cedar City at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cedar City: the same system put hail over 351 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Utah. Nearest: Beryl (22 miles west, up to 1"); Paragonah (26 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Hatch (34 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Cedar City 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Cedar City for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Cedar City 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.
