Evidence / storm surfaces
How Alliance saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 26, 2026 · Alliance, NE
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

The storm in context
Where Jun 26, 2026 sits in Alliance's hail record.
This was Alliance's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 18 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Alliance at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Alliance: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 15 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Hemingford (11 miles north, up to 0"); Angora (24 miles south, up to 1"); Crawford (29 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Alliance 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 Alliance 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.
303 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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 6, 2026.
