Two ways to read the storm

How Prior Lake 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-estimated hail size
Map image is still rendering for this surface.

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.

Max size 1"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 9, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Prior Lake, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 9, 2026 sits in Prior Lake's hail record

This was Prior Lake'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 Prior Lake at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Prior Lake: the same system put hail over 646 other tracked cities, 121 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Lakeville (6 miles southeast, up to 1"); Eden Prairie (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Minneapolis (8 miles northeast, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Prior Lake's Jun 9, 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.

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Prior Lake. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Prior Lake roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$175M

Potential roof exposure — 14,596 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 14,596 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.
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.

Prior Lake hail history

1 recorded storm day in Prior Lake, MN

← All hail in Prior Lake
A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
