About hail reports in Fort Smith
Located near the edge of Tornado Alley, Fort Smith experiences a high frequency of severe thunderstorms, particularly during the peak spring season from April to June. The city has seen numerous significant hail events producing golf ball to baseball-sized hail, leading to extensive property and vehicle damage. Local meteorological drivers include the collision of warm, moist Gulf air with dry lines moving east from the Plains.
This Fort Smith area research page connects reported NOAA/SPC hail activity with THOR’s interactive map. Use the map to investigate a place, ZIP code, county, address, or storm area alongside available hail swaths, NEXRAD radar, and Timeline replay.

Hail map questions
What is a hail swath map?
A hail swath is a radar-derived estimate of where a hail-producing storm cell traveled. THOR places swaths beside reported hail events, radar, and Timeline replay so you can study the full storm corridor.
Can I check hail history by address?
Yes. THOR searches by address, ZIP code, county, or place and creates Property Storm History reports that stay in My Reports for reopening, sharing, or browser PDF export.
Can roofing teams use THOR for canvassing?
Yes. THOR includes built-in canvassing with map pins, imported leads, statuses, notes, call and drive actions, follow-up dates, Storm Hits, Lead Storm Monitor, and exportable storm data.
How does THOR help prioritize storm damage work?
Market Priority compares the storm events already on the map with household, residential-density, population, and Residential Score context. Impact View, Heat Grid, and Timeline help the team sort the broader storm picture before field follow-up.
