Two ways to read the storm

How Shoals saw the hail — from two instruments

Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Shoals, IN on Jun 21, 2026

Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Shoals, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Shoals's hail record

This was Shoals's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shoals at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Shoals: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 22 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Washington (17 miles west, up to 1"); Wheatland (28 miles west, up to 1"); Bloomfield (28 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Shoals's Jun 21, 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Shoals roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$1.1M

Potential roof exposure — 92 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Shoals

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.
