Evidence / storm surfaces
How Unadilla saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 6, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Unadilla, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 6, 2026 sits in Unadilla's hail record.
This was Unadilla's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 18 days after the Aug 19, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Unadilla at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Unadilla: the same system put hail over 608 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Palmyra (5 miles west, up to 1.25"); Auburn (35 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Watson (39 miles east, up to 0.5").

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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Unadilla. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Unadilla 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.
Potential roof exposure
$2.3M
Potential roof exposure — 188 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 188 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
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 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 $39 on top of the $150 plan.
