Louisiana Hail Map & Hail Report History

Gulf moisture fuels Louisiana hail from late winter through spring, with reports peaking around March and April.

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

This is the Louisiana view. The national storm 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 Louisiana 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.
