The estimated-size surface reached 1.25" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Alexandria that day. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Evidence / storm surfaces
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Alexandria, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Alexandria's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Jun 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Alexandria at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Alexandria: the same system put hail over 294 other tracked cities, 56 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Argyle (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Montrose (9 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Revere (9 miles northwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Alexandria 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
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.

Storm forensics
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 400 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Wayland and Keokuk — beyond Alexandria itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
Potential roof exposure
$22M
Potential roof exposure — 1,805 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 1,805 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
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $379 on top of the $150 plan.
