Two ways to read the storm

How Maxwell 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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Maxwell, NE on Jun 24, 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 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Maxwell, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Maxwell's hail record

This was Maxwell's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 16 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Maxwell at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Maxwell: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 34 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Brady (6 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Wellfleet (10 miles southwest, up to 1.75"); North Platte (11 miles west, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills from Maxwell's Jun 24, 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.

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Maxwell. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Widespread claimable damage

What 1.75" hail means for Maxwell roofs

At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$8.4M

Potential roof exposure — 701 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Other storms in Maxwell

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
