Two ways to read the storm

How Bridgeport saw the hail — from two instruments

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.

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.

Where Jun 7, 2026 sits in Bridgeport's hail record

This was Bridgeport's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jun 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Bridgeport at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Bridgeport: the same system put hail over 237 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Angora (14 miles north, up to 0.75"); Bayard (19 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Dalton (21 miles south, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Bridgeport's Jun 7, 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.

Ground reports

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.

For this storm over Bridgeport, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Bridgeport roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$1.1M

Potential roof exposure — 89 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Bridgeport

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 2, 2026.
