NOAA's radar hail archive holds no records at all for May 7, 2023 (UTC), anywhere in the country, so radar figures for this date are incomplete. That is a gap in NOAA's processing, not a sign that radar saw no hail.

Spotter reports come from the Storm Prediction Center's preliminary daily logs, grouped here by local calendar date (Central Daylight Time) and by county: a report counts for Omaha when its coordinates fall inside one of the metro's 8 counties (the counties of Douglas, NE, Sarpy, NE, Cass, NE, Saunders, NE, Washington, NE, Pottawattamie, IA, Mills, IA and Harrison, IA). Radar signatures are estimates from the Hail Detection Algorithm, not measured stones; they include every cell it rated, from a 10% to a 100% probability of hail. How these pages are built.
