The 10th most severe storm Remer has seen in the last 12 months
Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Remer 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.
Radar signature field 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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where May 11, 2026 sits in Remer's hail record.
This was Remer's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Remer at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Remer: the same system put hail over 40 other tracked cities, 20 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Hackensack (17 miles west, up to 0"); Bena (21 miles north, up to 1"); Akeley (28 miles west, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Remer storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Remer 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Remer roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.
