Evidence / storm surfaces
How Tetonia saw the hail — from two instruments
May 26, 2026 · Tetonia, ID
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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Max size
1"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Tetonia, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 26, 2026 sits in Tetonia's hail record.
This was Tetonia's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Tetonia at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Tetonia: the same system put hail over 259 other tracked cities, 2 of them in Idaho. Nearest: American Falls (111 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Bozeman (117 miles north, up to 0.5"); Gooding (180 miles west, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Tetonia 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Tetonia roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
593 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$7.1M
Potential roof exposure — 593 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 3 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$45K
Close just 0.5% of the 593 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
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 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 $125 on top of the $150 plan.

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 Aug 28, 2026.
