Evidence / storm surfaces
How Max saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 9, 2026 · Max, 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 Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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 9, 2026 sits in Max's hail record.
This was Max's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Max at 1.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Max: the same system put hail over 646 other tracked cities, 110 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Garrison (14 miles southwest, up to 1.5"); Douglas (16 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Coleharbor (23 miles southwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Max 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 1.25" hail means for Max 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.
211 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$2.5M
Potential roof exposure — 211 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 211 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 Sep 8, 2026.
