Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dresden saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 6, 2026 · Dresden, OH
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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.

The storm in context
Where Jun 6, 2026 sits in Dresden's hail record.
This was Dresden's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 72 days after the Mar 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dresden at 2.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dresden: the same system put hail over 447 other tracked cities, 103 of them in Ohio. Nearest: Adamsville (5 miles east, up to 2.5"); Frazeysburg (5 miles west, up to 2"); Zanesville (7 miles south, up to 2").

Hail reports

What 2.25" hail means for Dresden 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.

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 Sep 4, 2026.
