Evidence / storm surfaces
How Fairfax saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Fairfax, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Fairfax's hail record.
This was Fairfax's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Fairfax at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Fairfax: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 154 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Ralston (7 miles south, up to 0.5"); Pawnee (15 miles south, up to 0.75"); Wynona (20 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 Fairfax. 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Fairfax roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$1.2M
Potential roof exposure — 98 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 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 $21 on top of the $150 plan.
