Hail in Osceola · Jun 11, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Osceola that day. At 2.75" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Osceola 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 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Osceola, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 11, 2026 sits in Osceola's hail record.
This was Osceola's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Osceola at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Osceola: the same system put hail over 648 other tracked cities, 147 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Murray (6 miles northwest, up to 2.25"); Weldon (7 miles south, up to 2.75"); Grand River (10 miles southwest, up to 2.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Osceola 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.
Hail reports
1 reportSevere hail signal
What 2.75" hail means for Osceola roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$97M
Potential roof exposure — 8,107 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 41 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$615K
Close just 0.5% of the 8,107 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 $1,702 on top of the $150 plan.
