Hail in Tecumseh May 4, 2026
NEXRAD caught this storm: 2 hail signatures up to 2". The radar-estimated size surface had no signal to model this day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Tecumseh 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.
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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for May 4, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where May 4, 2026 sits in Tecumseh's hail record
This was Tecumseh's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Apr 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Tecumseh at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Tecumseh: the same system put hail over 428 other tracked cities, 18 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Adrian (7 miles south, up to 2"); Clayton (12 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Dexter (21 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Tecumseh's May 4, 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Tecumseh. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
What 2" hail means for Tecumseh 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.
