Hail in Elmore Jul 1, 2026
Hit 33 days agoNEXRAD caught this storm: 11 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 Elmore 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 Jul 1, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jul 1, 2026 sits in Elmore's hail record
This was Elmore's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Elmore at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Elmore: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 52 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Lakota (9 miles southwest, up to 1"); Ledyard (10 miles west, up to 2"); Thompson (12 miles southeast, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills from Elmore's Jul 1, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Elmore for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 2" hail means for Elmore 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.
