How Sandstone saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 10, 2026 · Sandstone, MN

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Sandstone, MN on Jun 10, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Sandstone, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Sandstone's hail record.

This was Sandstone's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the May 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sandstone at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sandstone: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 113 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Askov (12 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Bruno (14 miles north, up to 0.75"); Willow River (15 miles north, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 6 Sandstone 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Sandstone 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 26, 2026.
