How Warren saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 3, 2026 · Warren, MN

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.

The storm in context

Where Sep 3, 2026 sits in Warren's hail record.

This was Warren's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Aug 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Warren at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Warren: the same system put hail over 494 other tracked cities, 73 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Alvarado (9 miles west, up to 0.75"); East Grand Forks (12 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Viking (14 miles east, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Warren 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 Warren 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 Sep 7, 2026.
