Evidence / storm surfaces
How Hillman saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Hillman, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 19, 2026 sits in Hillman's hail record.
This was Hillman's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hillman at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hillman: the same system put hail over 339 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Pierz (10 miles southwest, up to 1.5"); Brainerd (12 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Onamia (16 miles southeast, up to 1").

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.
Hail reports
1 reportHigh damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Hillman 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
$5.3M
Potential roof exposure — 439 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 439 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 $92 on top of the $150 plan.
