Evidence / storm surfaces
How Gallatin 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 Sep 6, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Gallatin, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 6, 2026 sits in Gallatin's hail record.
This was Gallatin's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 21 days after the Aug 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gallatin at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gallatin: the same system put hail over 608 other tracked cities, 45 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Altamont (5 miles west, up to 2"); Pattonsburg (13 miles northwest, up to 2"); Bethany (24 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Gallatin 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
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 Gallatin. 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 Gallatin 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
$11M
Potential roof exposure — 942 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 5 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$75K
Close just 0.5% of the 942 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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $198 on top of the $150 plan.
