Evidence / storm surfaces
How Villisca 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 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Villisca, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Villisca's hail record.
This was Villisca's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 23 days after the May 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Villisca at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Villisca: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 155 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Nodaway (5 miles east, up to 1.75"); Clarinda (7 miles south, up to 2.5"); Stanton (9 miles northwest, up to 1.5").

Storm forensics
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 Hepburn and Stanton — beyond Villisca itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Villisca 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
$45M
Potential roof exposure — 3,785 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 19 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$285K
Close just 0.5% of the 3,785 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 $795 on top of the $150 plan.
