Evidence / storm surfaces
How Warren 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 signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field 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.
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").

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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$4.2M
Potential roof exposure — 352 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 352 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.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
