Evidence / storm surfaces
How Streator 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Streator, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Streator's hail record.
This was Streator's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Streator at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Streator: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 100 of them in Illinois. Nearest: Wenona (8 miles west, up to 1"); Tonica (10 miles northwest, up to 1"); Magnolia (13 miles west, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Streator 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Streator. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Streator roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$55M
Potential roof exposure — 4,542 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 23 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$345K
Close just 0.5% of the 4,542 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
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 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 $954 on top of the $150 plan.
