How Wilmont saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 27, 2026 · Wilmont, MN

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.

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.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 27, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wilmont, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 27, 2026 sits in Wilmont's hail record.

This was Wilmont's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 71 days after the May 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wilmont at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wilmont: the same system put hail over 803 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Lismore (5 miles west, up to 0.75"); Manning (137 miles south, up to 0.75"); Mc Intire (156 miles east, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 2 Wilmont 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Wilmont for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Wilmont 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 2, 2026.
