Evidence / storm surfaces
How Winnebago saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 1, 2026 · Winnebago, MN
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
1.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 1, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Winnebago, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 1, 2026 sits in Winnebago's hail record.
This was Winnebago's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 24 days after the Aug 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Winnebago at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Winnebago: the same system put hail over 362 other tracked cities, 56 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Delavan (7 miles east, up to 1.5"); Blue Earth (7 miles south, up to 1.5"); Mapleton (10 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Winnebago 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.

High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Winnebago roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 8, 2026.
