Evidence / storm surfaces
How Gering 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 Gering, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Gering's hail record.
This was Gering's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gering at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gering: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 23 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Bayard (6 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Minatare (7 miles north, up to 1.25"); Harrisburg (16 miles southwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Gering storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked southeast at roughly 30 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 37 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Scottsbluff, Mcgrew, and Terrytown — beyond Gering itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Gering 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
$146M
Potential roof exposure — 12,152 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 61 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$915K
Close just 0.5% of the 12,152 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 $2,552 on top of the $150 plan.
