Evidence / storm surfaces

How Springview saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 18, 2026 · Springview, NE

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

The storm in context

Where Aug 18, 2026 sits in Springview's hail record.

This was Springview's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Aug 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Springview at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Springview: the same system put hail over 309 other tracked cities, 2 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Winner (40 miles north, up to 1.25"); Wood (56 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Oneill (66 miles southeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Springview 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

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

For this storm over Springview, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Springview roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

182 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$2.2M

Potential roof exposure — 182 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 182 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

August 2028

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

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 Aug 22, 2026.
