How Hettinger saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Radar-estimated hail size
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 29, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Hettinger, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 29, 2026 sits in Hettinger's hail record
This was Hettinger's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hettinger at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hettinger: the same system put hail over 702 other tracked cities, 96 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Regent (29 miles north, up to 1"); New England (42 miles north, up to 1"); Amidon (42 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Hettinger'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.
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.
Hail reports
1 reportWhat 0.5" hail means for Hettinger roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$9.7M
Potential roof exposure — 806 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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
