Evidence / storm surfaces
How Aurelia saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context

This was Aurelia's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Jun 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Aurelia at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Aurelia: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 54 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Cherokee (5 miles west, up to 1"); Alta (6 miles southeast, up to 1"); Rembrandt (11 miles east, up to 1.75").

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 Aurelia. 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Aurelia 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.
