Evidence / storm surfaces
How Malvern 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
Where Jun 5, 2026 sits in Malvern's hail record.
This was Malvern's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 18 days after the May 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Malvern at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Malvern: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 66 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Glenwood (5 miles west, up to 1.75"); Hastings (6 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Macedonia (9 miles northeast, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Malvern 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
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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Silver City — beyond Malvern itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Malvern 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
$30M
Potential roof exposure — 2,464 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 12 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$180K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,464 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 $517 on top of the $150 plan.
