Evidence / storm surfaces
How Monroe 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.
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 10, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 10, 2026 sits in Monroe's hail record.
This was Monroe's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Monroe at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Monroe: the same system put hail over 682 other tracked cities, 12 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Belle Plaine (52 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Marengo (54 miles east, up to 0.75"); Clutier (55 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Monroe 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.
For this storm over Monroe, 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Monroe roofs.
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.
