Evidence / storm surfaces
How Keokuk 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Keokuk, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 17, 2026 sits in Keokuk's hail record.
This was Keokuk's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Keokuk at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Keokuk: the same system put hail over 294 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Montrose (5 miles west, up to 0.5"); Hamilton (9 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Argyle (11 miles west, up to 0.5").

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 403 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Warsaw — beyond Keokuk itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Keokuk roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$25M
Potential roof exposure — 2,044 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 10 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$150K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,044 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 $429 on top of the $150 plan.
