Evidence / storm surfaces
How Atlanta saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Atlanta, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 11, 2026 sits in Atlanta's hail record.
This was Atlanta's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 26 days after the May 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Atlanta at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Atlanta: the same system put hail over 648 other tracked cities, 136 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Elmer (5 miles west, up to 1.25"); La Plata (11 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Ethel (11 miles west, up to 0.75").

Ground reports
What people on the ground reported
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Atlanta. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Atlanta 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$29M
Potential roof exposure — 2,390 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 12 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$180K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,390 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 $502 on top of the $150 plan.
