How Webb saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Webb's hail record
This was Webb's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jul 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Webb at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Webb: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 57 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Greenville (5 miles west, up to 0.75"); Sioux Rapids (9 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Curlew (10 miles east, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Webb's Jul 4, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.

What 0.75" hail means for Webb roofs
Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$204K
Potential roof exposure — 17 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage. Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
