Arkansas Hail Map & Hail Report History

Arkansas sits in Dixie Alley, where spring and late-fall storm systems drop large hail across the Little Rock, Fayetteville and Fort Smith metros.

Every hail report below comes from official National Weather Service storm reports for Arkansas, covering the last 365 days. Times are Central. Sizes are the measured or estimated stone diameter in inches.

This is the Arkansas view. The full national hail map adds live radar showing hail falling right now, real NWS warned storm paths, radar-measured hail footprints, and every state at once. Filters for date, state, and hail size can be set on the national hail map page.

How to read Arkansas hail sizes

  • 1" (quarter) — the NWS severe threshold. Enough to dent soft metal and bruise shingles.
  • 1.75" (golf ball) — widespread vehicle dents and the size that usually opens PDR work.
  • 2.5"+ (tennis ball and up) — roof fractures, broken glass and full-scale catastrophe deployments.
