How Chiefland saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 30, 2026 · Chiefland, FL

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Chiefland, FL on Jun 30, 2026 Radar signature field

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where Jun 30, 2026 sits in Chiefland's hail record.

This was Chiefland's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jun 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Chiefland at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Chiefland: the same system put hail over 720 other tracked cities, 97 of them in Florida. Nearest: Old Town (13 miles west, up to 1.75"); Bronson (14 miles southeast, up to 1"); Trenton (15 miles northeast, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Chiefland 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Chiefland for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Chiefland 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.

106 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$1.3M

Potential roof exposure — 106 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 106 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 $22 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 Aug 26, 2026.
