Evidence / storm surfaces
How Almont saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 30, 2026 · Almont, ND
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
0.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 30, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Almont, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 30, 2026 sits in Almont's hail record.
This was Almont's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 19 days after the Aug 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Almont at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Almont: the same system put hail over 117 other tracked cities, 42 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: New Salem (19 miles north, up to 0.5"); Carson (22 miles south, up to 1"); Elgin (23 miles southwest, up to 0.75").

Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Almont roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
95 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$1.1M
Potential roof exposure — 95 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 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 $20 on top of the $150 plan.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 31, 2026.
