How Omaha 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
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Omaha, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 13, 2026 sits in Omaha's hail record
This was Omaha's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Omaha at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Omaha: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 47 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Elkhorn (8 miles west, up to 1.5"); Waterloo (10 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Bellevue (10 miles southeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Omaha's Jun 13, 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.
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
Reports came from Boys Town and Elkhorn — beyond Omaha itself.
What 1" hail means for Omaha roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$2.3B
Potential roof exposure — 193,192 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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.
