Two ways to read the storm

How Lawrenceville saw the hail — from two instruments

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Lawrenceville, IL on Jun 21, 2026

The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lawrenceville, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Lawrenceville's hail record

This was Lawrenceville's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lawrenceville at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lawrenceville: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 27 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Saint Francisville (10 miles south, up to 0.5"); Vincennes (13 miles southeast, up to 1"); Sumner (15 miles southwest, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Lawrenceville's Jun 21, 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Lawrenceville roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

Other storms in Lawrenceville

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 3, 2026.
