Evidence / storm surfaces
How Port Huron 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 Sep 2, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Port Huron, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 2, 2026 sits in Port Huron's hail record.
This was Port Huron's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 1 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Port Huron at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Port Huron: the same system put hail over 356 other tracked cities, 37 of them in Michigan. Nearest: North Street (5 miles west, up to 1"); Avoca (10 miles west, up to 1"); Emmett (15 miles west, 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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Kimball — beyond Port Huron itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Port Huron roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$71M
Potential roof exposure — 5,924 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 30 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$450K
Close just 0.5% of the 5,924 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
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 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 $1,244 on top of the $150 plan.
