Evidence / storm surfaces
How Wolf Creek saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 25, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wolf Creek, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 25, 2026 sits in Wolf Creek's hail record.
This was Wolf Creek's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 27 days after the May 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wolf Creek at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wolf Creek: the same system put hail over 395 other tracked cities, 14 of them in Montana. Nearest: Helena (21 miles south, up to 0.5"); Cascade (31 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Fort Shaw (37 miles north, up to 0.5").

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 Wolf Creek. 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Wolf Creek 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
$900K
Potential roof exposure — 75 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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 $16 on top of the $150 plan.
