Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dumont saw the hail — from two instruments
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 Jul 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Dumont, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 20, 2026 sits in Dumont's hail record.
This was Dumont's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 22 days after the Jun 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dumont at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dumont: the same system put hail over 553 other tracked cities, 178 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Bristow (6 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Geneva (6 miles southwest, up to 1"); Dougherty (10 miles north, up to 1.25").

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.
For this storm over Dumont, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Dumont roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$22M
Potential roof exposure — 1,828 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 9 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$135K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,828 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
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 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 $384 on top of the $150 plan.
