Largest hailstone — the top predictor of roof damage.
How many homes sit inside the storm's footprint.
Independent storm reports filed with the NWS.
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-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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Kenbridge, so there is one map to show, not two.
This was Kenbridge's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 60 days after the May 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kenbridge at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kenbridge: the same system put hail over 351 other tracked cities, 31 of them in Virginia. Nearest: Lawrenceville (24 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Farmville (30 miles north, up to 0.75"); Henrico (59 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Kenbridge's Jul 26, 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.
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.

Reports came from Oral Oaks — beyond Kenbridge itself.
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.
