How Rhame saw the hail — from two instruments
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.

Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Rhame's hail record
This was Rhame's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Rhame at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Rhame: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 114 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Bowman (16 miles southeast, up to 1.5"); Amidon (24 miles northeast, up to 1"); Golva (29 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Rhame's Jun 27, 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 1.5" hail means for Rhame roofs
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.

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.
