Evidence / storm surfaces
How Gouverneur 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 4, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Gouverneur, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Gouverneur's hail record.
This was Gouverneur's 16th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Jun 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gouverneur at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gouverneur: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 43 of them in New York. Nearest: De Kalb Junction (15 miles north, up to 1.25"); Rensselaer Falls (21 miles north, up to 1.25"); Lisbon (29 miles north, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 Gouverneur 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
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 Gouverneur. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Gouverneur roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$564K
Potential roof exposure — 47 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 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 $10 on top of the $150 plan.
