Evidence / storm surfaces
How State Line saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 29, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over State Line, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Apr 29, 2026 sits in State Line's hail record.
This was State Line's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over State Line at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than State Line: the same system put hail over 248 other tracked cities, 37 of them in Mississippi. Nearest: Buckatunna (9 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Millry (18 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Waynesboro (22 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 State Line 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 State Line 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 State Line 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
$32M
Potential roof exposure — 2,699 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 13 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$195K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,699 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
April 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 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 $567 on top of the $150 plan.
