How Moulton saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 1, 2026 · Moulton, AL

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.

The storm in context

Where Jul 1, 2026 sits in Moulton's hail record.

This was Moulton's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 30 days after the Jun 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Moulton at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Moulton: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 147 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Danville (6 miles east, up to 2"); Vinemont (13 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Mount Hope (13 miles northwest, up to 1.25").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Moulton storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Moulton. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Severe hail signal

What 2" hail means for Moulton roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

297 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$3.6M

Potential roof exposure — 297 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 297 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.

Claim window

July 2028

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $62 on top of the $150 plan.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 12, 2026.
