Evidence / storm surfaces
How Hoyleton 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.
Radar signature field 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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 27, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Hoyleton's hail record.
This was Hoyleton's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hoyleton at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hoyleton: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 6 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Golden Gate (60 miles east, up to 0.75"); Crossville (68 miles east, up to 0.5"); Mount Carmel (76 miles east, up to 2").

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.
For this storm over Hoyleton, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Hoyleton 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$192K
Potential roof exposure — 16 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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.
