How Mount Erie saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 11, 2026 · Mount Erie, IL

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 map of the storm over Mount Erie, IL on Jun 11, 2026 Estimated size field

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 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Mount Erie, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 11, 2026 sits in Mount Erie's hail record.

This was Mount Erie's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 45 days after the Apr 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mount Erie at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mount Erie: the same system put hail over 648 other tracked cities, 157 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Geff (5 miles west, up to 0.5"); Noble (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Louisville (28 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Mount Erie 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Mount Erie. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Mount Erie 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
