Evidence / storm surfaces
How Greenville 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 Feb 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Greenville, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Feb 19, 2026 sits in Greenville's hail record.
This was Greenville's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Greenville at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Feb 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Greenville: the same system put hail over 64 other tracked cities, 31 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Keyesport (12 miles southeast, up to 1"); Shobonier (16 miles east, up to 0.75"); Vandalia (22 miles east, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Greenville 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.

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 Dudleyville — beyond Greenville itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Greenville 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.
Potential roof exposure
$5.3M
Potential roof exposure — 444 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 444 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
February 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around February 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 $93 on top of the $150 plan.
