Evidence / storm surfaces
How Saint Paul 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Saint Paul, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 19, 2026 sits in Saint Paul's hail record.
This was Saint Paul's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Saint Paul at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Saint Paul: the same system put hail over 339 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Wyoming (17 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Osceola (20 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Center City (23 miles northeast, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Saint Paul 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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked southeast at roughly 5 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 42 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Little Canada, Roseville, Falcon Heights, Oakdale, Maplewood, and St. Paul — beyond Saint Paul itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Saint Paul roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$1.3B
Potential roof exposure — 104,226 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 521 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$7.8M
Close just 0.5% of the 104,226 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.
