Two ways to read the storm

How Terre Haute 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 Terre Haute, IN on Jun 17, 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 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Terre Haute, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 17, 2026 sits in Terre Haute's hail record

This was Terre Haute's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 33 days after the May 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Terre Haute at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Terre Haute: the same system put hail over 294 other tracked cities, 19 of them in Indiana. Nearest: West Terre Haute (13 miles southwest, up to 1"); Cory (15 miles south, up to 0.5"); Pimento (21 miles south, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Terre Haute's Jun 17, 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 Terre Haute 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.

Other storms in Terre Haute

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.
