NEXRAD logged 0 hail signatures up to 4"; the estimated-size surface reached 2.25" aloft. At 4" — softball or larger — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Severity
Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.
Largest radar-indicated size — a signal of damage potential, not confirmation.

Evidence / storm surfaces
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.
Radar signature field 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.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
The storm in context
This was Hoskins's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 43 days after the May 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 6 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 (7 miles north, up to 2.5"); Norfolk (8 miles west, up to 4"); Pierce (10 miles northwest, up to 4").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 6 Hoskins 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
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.
“Corrects date of previous tornado report from 3 SE Hoskins. An EF-0 tornado with a peak wind estimated at 85 mph... path length of 1.1 miles... and a width of 25 yards (OAX)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
“Reported as rural Hoskins. Time and location estimated by radar. (OAX)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
“Delayed report of several hailstones up to ping pong ball sized. Time estimated with radar. (OAX)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
Severe hail signal
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
Potential roof exposure
$44M
Potential roof exposure — 3,674 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 3,674 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 $772 on top of the $150 plan.
