Hail in Haddam Jul 3, 2026
Hit 31 days agoBoth radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 5 hail signatures up to 2.5", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.5" aloft. At 2.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Haddam saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Where Jul 3, 2026 sits in Haddam's hail record
This was Haddam's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 20 days after the Jun 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Haddam at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Haddam: the same system put hail over 1,885 other tracked cities, 175 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Morrowville (5 miles east, up to 1.75"); Mahaska (7 miles north, up to 1.75"); Narka (9 miles northwest, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills from Haddam's Jul 3, 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.
What people on the ground reported
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.

What 2.5" hail means for Haddam roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

ground reports
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.
