Evidence / storm surfaces
How Hibbing saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
The storm in context
Where Jun 29, 2026 sits in Hibbing's hail record.
This was Hibbing's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 19 days after the Jun 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hibbing at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hibbing: the same system put hail over 702 other tracked cities, 240 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Chisholm (7 miles east, up to 1.5"); Nashwauk (10 miles southwest, up to 2"); Mountain Iron (14 miles east, up to 1.5").

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 Chisholm — beyond Hibbing itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Hibbing roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$11M
Potential roof exposure — 948 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 5 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$75K
Close just 0.5% of the 948 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
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 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 $199 on top of the $150 plan.
