Hail in Coleharbor Jun 29, 2026

Hit 35 days ago

Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 8 hail signatures up to 4", and the radar-estimated size reached 0.5" aloft. At 4" — softball or larger — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

Two ways to read the storm

How Coleharbor 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.

NEXRAD radar signatures

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Where Jun 29, 2026 sits in Coleharbor's hail record

This was Coleharbor's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Coleharbor at 4" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Coleharbor: the same system put hail over 702 other tracked cities, 96 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Garrison (8 miles northwest, up to 4"); Underwood (12 miles east, up to 0.75"); Beulah (23 miles southwest, up to 3").

These maps are stills from Coleharbor's Jun 29, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

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.

For this storm over Coleharbor, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 4" hail means for Coleharbor roofs

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

Other storms in Coleharbor

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
