The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 1.5" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over La Crosse this day.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

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.
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 La Crosse, so there is one map to show, not two.
This was La Crosse's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over La Crosse at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than La Crosse: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Wheatfield (12 miles southwest, up to 1.5"); Union Mills (14 miles north, up to 0.75"); Knox (16 miles east, up to 1").
These maps are stills from La Crosse's Mar 10, 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.
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.

Hail was reported over 20 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Lomax, English Lake, and Toto — beyond La Crosse itself.
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.
