Evidence / storm surfaces
How Nauvoo saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where Sep 6, 2026 sits in Nauvoo's hail record.
This was Nauvoo's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Aug 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Nauvoo at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Nauvoo: the same system put hail over 608 other tracked cities, 43 of them in Alabama. Nearest: Guin (24 miles west, up to 1"); Sulligent (37 miles west, up to 0.5"); Fayette (39 miles southwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Nauvoo 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
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Nauvoo. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Nauvoo roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$492K
Potential roof exposure — 41 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 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 $9 on top of the $150 plan.
