Evidence / storm surfaces
How Salisbury saw the hail — from two instruments
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 Oct 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Salisbury, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Oct 13, 2026 sits in Salisbury's hail record.
This was Salisbury's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 28 days after the Sep 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Salisbury at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Oct 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Salisbury: the same system put hail over 183 other tracked cities, 36 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Clifton Hill (4 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); New Cambria (11 miles north, up to 0.75"); Marceline (13 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Salisbury 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Salisbury 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Salisbury roofs.
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
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$12M
Potential roof exposure — 1,036 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 1,036 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
October 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around October 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 $218 on top of the $150 plan.
