Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lemont 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.
Estimated size field 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lemont, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Lemont's hail record.
This was Lemont's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 37 days after the May 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lemont at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lemont: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 81 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Downers Grove (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Lisle (9 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Orland Park (9 miles southeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Lemont 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 Woodridge — beyond Lemont itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Lemont 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
$449M
Potential roof exposure — 37,413 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 187 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$2.8M
Close just 0.5% of the 37,413 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
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $7,857 on top of the $150 plan.
