NOAA radar estimated hail up to 3.60″ (teacup size) within 5 miles of this address from May 18, 2022 to May 20, 2022, largest on May 19, 2022. The largest estimate within 3 miles was 3.60″ and within 1 mile 2.45″. In the radar grid cell that contains the address, the estimate was 2.45″ (May 18, 2022). About when, near the address: May 18, 2022, about 2:30–3:00 a.m. CDT May 19 and 4:00–5:00 a.m. CDT May 19; May 19, 2022, about 7:00–7:30 a.m. CDT.

Radar-estimated hail near this address

“Radar at the address” is the NOAA MRMS MESH estimate for the ~1 km grid cell that contains the address; “none” means no radar hail estimate of 0.75″ or more at this point that day. The other radar columns are the largest estimate in any grid cell whose center is within ½, 1, 3 or 5 miles; “–” means under 0.75″ within that distance. Approximate time near the address: the 30-minute windows in which NOAA MRMS radar first estimated hail of 0.75″ or more, or its largest estimate of the day, in the 0.05° radar blocks (about 3.5 by 3 miles) that reach within 1 mile of the address, in local time. “Radar, within 5 mi” means radar hail that day was only farther out. Radar timing starts August 1, 2021; for earlier days, or when radar has no time, the times of NOAA Storm Prediction Center hail reports within 5 miles are shown and labeled as report times. A storm day runs from 12:00 UTC to 12:00 UTC the next day (7 a.m. to 7 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. Central), so a storm on the evening of your date counts on that date, and one after midnight but before 7 a.m. Eastern counts on the day before. If you aren't sure, check the day before and after.
