Two ways to read the storm

How Chunchula saw the hail — from two instruments

Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 2, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 2, 2026 sits in Chunchula's hail record

This was Chunchula's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the May 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Chunchula at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Chunchula: the same system put hail over 635 other tracked cities, 3 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Wagarville (22 miles north, up to 1"); Deer Park (24 miles northwest, up to 1"); Leakesville (33 miles northwest, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills from Chunchula's Jun 2, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

For this storm over Chunchula, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Chunchula roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$156K

Potential roof exposure — 13 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Chunchula

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
