Two ways to read the storm

How Roosevelt 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.

Where Jul 6, 2026 sits in Roosevelt's hail record

This was Roosevelt's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Roosevelt at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Roosevelt: the same system put hail over 832 other tracked cities, 169 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Williams (11 miles east, up to 1.75"); Warroad (11 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Salol (17 miles northwest, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills from Roosevelt's Jul 6, 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Roosevelt 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.

Widespread claimable damage

What 1.75" hail means for Roosevelt roofs

At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$1.1M

Potential roof exposure — 94 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Roosevelt

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 3, 2026.
