Evidence / storm surfaces
How Akron 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Akron, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Akron's hail record.
This was Akron's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 21 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Akron at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Akron: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Anton (31 miles south, up to 0.75"); Sterling (32 miles north, up to 1.5"); Fleming (34 miles northeast, up to 1.5").

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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Elba — beyond Akron itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Akron roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$3.7M
Potential roof exposure — 311 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 311 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
June 2028
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $65 on top of the $150 plan.
