Two ways to read the storm

How Medora saw the hail — from two instruments

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
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Medora, IL on Jun 24, 2026

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 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Medora, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Medora's hail record

This was Medora's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jun 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Medora at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Medora: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 53 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Greenfield (11 miles north, up to 0.5"); Carrollton (13 miles northwest, up to 1"); Hettick (15 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Medora's Jun 24, 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.

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Medora for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1.25" hail means for Medora roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

Other storms in Medora

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 2, 2026.
