Ground reports are observations from spotters, the public and officials. Most hail is never reported, so no report does not mean no hail.

What to check after this storm

From the ground, look at soft metals: gutters, downspouts, vents and the fins on your AC unit. Dents and dings there mean hail hit hard enough to bruise shingles. Granules piling up at downspout outlets are another sign. Do not climb on the roof; a free inspection settles it with photos.

Estimated maximum hail size from the NOAA MRMS MESH product, a radar estimate that can run higher or lower than what reached the ground. See how it works.
