How Almo saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 19, 2026 · Almo, KY
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
0.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Almo, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 19, 2026 sits in Almo's hail record.
This was Almo's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 24 days after the Jul 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Almo at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Almo: the same system put hail over 496 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Kentucky. Nearest: Wingo (23 miles west, up to 0.5"); Dover (23 miles east, up to 0.5"); Hickory (26 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Almo 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Dexter — beyond Almo itself.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Almo 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
479 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$5.7M
Potential roof exposure — 479 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 479 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $101 on top of the $150 plan.

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 Aug 20, 2026.
