How Shoals saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 21, 2026 · Shoals, IN

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 map of the storm over Shoals, IN on Jun 21, 2026 Estimated size field

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 9th of the 11 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: Bloomfield (21 miles north, up to 0.5"); Washington (29 miles west, up to 1"); Worthington (29 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Shoals 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Shoals 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.

92 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

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 Sep 6, 2026.
