Two ways to read the storm

How Burr Oak saw the hail — from two instruments

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Burr Oak, MI on Jun 16, 2026

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Burr Oak, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 16, 2026 sits in Burr Oak's hail record

This was Burr Oak's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 64 days after the Apr 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Burr Oak at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Burr Oak: the same system put hail over 225 other tracked cities, 58 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Sturgis (5 miles west, up to 0.75"); Bronson (5 miles east, up to 0.5"); Shipshewana (12 miles southwest, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Burr Oak's Jun 16, 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.

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.

For this storm over Burr Oak, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Burr Oak roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

Other storms in Burr Oak

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.
