How Elkhorn 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.
Radar-estimated hail size
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Elkhorn, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 13, 2026 sits in Elkhorn's hail record
This was Elkhorn's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the May 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Elkhorn at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Elkhorn: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 47 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Waterloo (7 miles north, up to 1.5"); Omaha (8 miles east, up to 1"); Valley (9 miles northwest, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills from Elkhorn's Jun 13, 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 1.5" hail means for Elkhorn 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.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

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 3, 2026.
