Evidence / storm surfaces
How West Monroe 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over West Monroe, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 22, 2026 sits in West Monroe's hail record.
This was West Monroe's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the May 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over West Monroe at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than West Monroe: the same system put hail over 417 other tracked cities, 34 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Downsville (9 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Sterlington (15 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Marion (22 miles north, up to 0.75").

Ground reports
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over West Monroe. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for West Monroe 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.
Potential roof exposure
$7.1M
Potential roof exposure — 591 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 3 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$45K
Close just 0.5% of the 591 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
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
