HailTrace Maps Show 84 Marks Properties Saw 1.0-inch Hail March 6

HailTrace event mapping lists Marks, Mississippi among areas hit during a region-wide severe-weather episode on March 6, 2026, and estimates that 84 properties in the Marks area may have been impacted by 1.0-inch hail. The mapping entry for the date appears in HailTrace’s related events as a “Hail map preview on 03-06-2026,” a digital footprint that the service uses to flag potential hail swaths and affected addresses.

The regional meteorological setup that day was consistent with hail-producing storms, according to a WeatherBug outlook that placed parts of the lower Mississippi Valley and Mid-South under a slight risk. WeatherBug warned, “THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF TEXAS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/MID-SOUTH...AND PORTIONS OF THE OHIO VALLEY INTO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA/NEW YORK,” and added, “Scattered severe thunderstorms are likely today across parts of Ohio into West Virginia and western Pennsylvania/New York, and from portions of Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley and Mid-South. Damaging winds should be the main threat for most areas, but large hail may occur across parts of Texas, and a few tornadoes appear possible in the upper Ohio Valley.”

The HailTrace-related material provided to this report shows the March 6, 2026 preview entry but does not include the underlying parcel-by-parcel breakdown or documentation of how the 84-property count and the 1.0-inch hail figure were derived. The original event summary that prompted local mapping described “hail, wind and tornado reports across multiple states,” and the 84-property, 1.0-inch figure is presented as a HailTrace estimate. Local and federal storm surveys, insurer claims data, or HailTrace methodology notes are needed to convert that modeled or mapped estimate into a confirmed damage tally.

Nearby datasets show different local patterns. On StormerSite’s Quitman, Mississippi page, the site reports, “Quitman, Mississippi (population: 2323) had 0 hail reports within 10 miles of the city center located at (32.04015, -88.7281) in 2026. The largest report of hail in 2026 near Quitman was 0.00 inches.” Those Quitman figures refer to the town of Quitman and its 2026 hail summary, and should not be conflated with Marks, which appears separately in the HailTrace mapping for March 6.

StormerSite also logs local wind reports from January that illustrate recent severe-weather impacts in the region. The site lists three entries dated 01/10/2026 with times and locations: “01/10/2026 6:10 A, 2 se quitman, clarke, MS,” with the note, “trees were downed along cr 110. (jan)”; “01/10/2026 6:10 A, 1 nnw quitman, clarke, MS,” with the note, “large tree downed across n jackson ave. (jan)”; and “01/10/2026 6:07 A, 2 w quitman, clarke, MS,” with the note, “a tree was blown down on county road 512. (jan).”

Verification steps remain critical. The HailTrace 84-property, 1.0-inch hail estimate should be confirmed with HailTrace’s event map output and methodology, and cross-checked against National Weather Service or Storm Prediction Center storm reports and any NWS damage surveys for March 6, 2026. If HailTrace’s mapped estimate is borne out by official surveys or insurance claims, the event would represent a concentrated hail footprint in Marks tied to the March 6 multi-state outbreak; if not, the mapping will remain an early-stage, model-driven indicator that requires on-the-ground confirmation.
