How Dyer saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 10, 2026 · Dyer, IN

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 Dyer, IN on Mar 10, 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 Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Dyer, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Dyer's hail record.

This was Dyer's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dyer at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dyer: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Griffith (5 miles east, up to 0.5"); Hobart (16 miles east, up to 0.75"); Portage (17 miles northeast, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Dyer 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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Dyer. 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Dyer 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.
