How Dickinson saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 29, 2026 · Dickinson, ND

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.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

The storm in context

Where Jun 29, 2026 sits in Dickinson's hail record.

This was Dickinson's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dickinson at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dickinson: the same system put hail over 702 other tracked cities, 96 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Fairfield (23 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Regent (30 miles southeast, up to 1"); New England (31 miles south, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Dickinson 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Dickinson roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

142 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$1.7M

Potential roof exposure — 142 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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 Sep 29, 2026.
