How Bridgeport saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Bridgeport, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Bridgeport's hail record
This was Bridgeport's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Bridgeport at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Bridgeport: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 23 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Bayard (19 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Dalton (21 miles south, up to 1.5"); Gering (26 miles west, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills from Bridgeport's Jun 22, 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 1.75" hail means for Bridgeport 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 2, 2026.
