Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kensal saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 2, 2026 · Kensal, ND
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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.

The storm in context
Where Jun 2, 2026 sits in Kensal's hail record.
This was Kensal's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kensal at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kensal: the same system put hail over 635 other tracked cities, 135 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Courtenay (7 miles south, up to 1"); Sutton (14 miles northeast, up to 1"); Glenfield (14 miles north, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Kensal 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Kensal 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.
196 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$2.4M
Potential roof exposure — 196 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job

- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 196 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window

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 3, 2026.
