Evidence / storm surfaces
How Loup City saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Loup City, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Loup City's hail record.
This was Loup City's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Jun 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Loup City at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Loup City: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 84 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Ravenna (7 miles south, up to 1.75"); Litchfield (10 miles west, up to 2"); Hazard (10 miles southwest, up to 1.75").

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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Sherman Reservoir — beyond Loup City itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Loup City roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$26M
Potential roof exposure — 2,153 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 11 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$165K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,153 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 $452 on top of the $150 plan.
