How Wadena 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.
Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wadena, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Wadena's hail record
This was Wadena's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wadena at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wadena: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 113 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Deer Creek (12 miles southwest, up to 1"); Sebeka (15 miles north, up to 1"); Staples (19 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Wadena's Jun 10, 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.

What 1" hail means for Wadena 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.

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.
