Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 0 hail signatures up to 4", and the radar-estimated size reached 2.25" aloft. At 4" — softball or larger — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
This was Hoskins's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 43 days after the May 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hoskins at 4" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hoskins: the same system put hail over 702 other tracked cities, 70 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Winside (9 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Norfolk (10 miles southwest, up to 4"); Wayne (15 miles northeast, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills from Hoskins's Jun 29, 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.
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.

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
