The estimated-size surface reached 0.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Ainsworth that day. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Severity
Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.
Largest radar-indicated size — a signal of damage potential, not confirmation.

Evidence / storm surfaces
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.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ainsworth, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Ainsworth's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ainsworth at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ainsworth: the same system put hail over 648 other tracked cities, 147 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Columbus Junction (10 miles east, up to 0.5"); Washington (12 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Conesville (12 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 6 Ainsworth 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
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.
“Two videos of a very narrow needle-like tornado north of Ainsworth in a field. The mesocyclone appeared to be very small as well. With no known damage... this is rated (DVN)”

Storm forensics
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Haskins — beyond Ainsworth itself.
Below the severe threshold
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
Potential roof exposure
$3.2M
Potential roof exposure — 270 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 270 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 $57 on top of the $150 plan.
