Evidence / storm surfaces
How Broken Bow 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 9, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Broken Bow, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 9, 2026 sits in Broken Bow's hail record.
This was Broken Bow's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the May 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Broken Bow at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Broken Bow: the same system put hail over 646 other tracked cities, 77 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Mason City (9 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Ansley (19 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Arcadia (30 miles northeast, up to 1.75").

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 Broken Bow, 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Broken Bow 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.
Potential roof exposure
$5.4M
Potential roof exposure — 454 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 454 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 $95 on top of the $150 plan.
