Two ways to read the storm

How Shipshewana 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 Shipshewana, IN on Jun 16, 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 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Shipshewana, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 16, 2026 sits in Shipshewana's hail record

This was Shipshewana's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shipshewana at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Shipshewana: the same system put hail over 225 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Sturgis (9 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Burr Oak (12 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Constantine (15 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Shipshewana's Jun 16, 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Shipshewana roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

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 3, 2026.
