How Lincoln saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 10, 2026 · Lincoln, NE

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.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Lincoln, NE on Jun 10, 2026 — 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.

Max size 1.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lincoln, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Lincoln's hail record.

This was Lincoln's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jun 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lincoln at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lincoln: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 79 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Waverly (11 miles north, up to 1.75"); Malcolm (11 miles west, up to 1.5"); Roca (11 miles south, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Lincoln 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.

Storm forensics

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

The storm tracked southeast at roughly 15 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.

Hail was reported over 84 minutes, from 9:06 AM UTC to 10:30 AM UTC .

Reports came from Roca, Palmyra, Waverly, Malcolm, Bennet, and Davey — beyond Lincoln itself.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Lincoln 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

111,572 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$1.3B

Potential roof exposure — 111,572 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Illustrative jobs: 558 jobs
Illustrative work: ~$8.4M

Close just 0.5% of the 111,572 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 14, 2026.
