Evidence / storm surfaces
How Rembrandt saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 16, 2026 · Rembrandt, IA
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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
0.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Rembrandt, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 16, 2026 sits in Rembrandt's hail record.
This was Rembrandt's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 30 days after the May 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Rembrandt at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Rembrandt: the same system put hail over 225 other tracked cities, 58 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Alta (9 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Aurelia (11 miles west, up to 1"); Storm Lake (14 miles south, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Rembrandt 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.

Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Rembrandt 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
379 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$4.5M
Potential roof exposure — 379 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 379 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.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 2, 2026.
