Evidence / storm surfaces
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.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
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 4th of the 10 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 (17 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Gering (19 miles west, up to 1.75"); Dalton (19 miles southeast, up to 1.5").

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Redington — beyond Bridgeport itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Bridgeport roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$3.4M
Potential roof exposure — 285 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 285 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
June 2028
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $60 on top of the $150 plan.
