Evidence / storm surfaces
How Santa Rosa 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 signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 2, 2026 sits in Santa Rosa's hail record.
This was Santa Rosa's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the May 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Santa Rosa at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Santa Rosa: the same system put hail over 635 other tracked cities, 19 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Las Vegas (49 miles northwest, up to 1.75"); Melrose (62 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); San Jon (79 miles east, up to 2.75").

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.
For this storm over Santa Rosa, 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.
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for Santa Rosa roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.
