Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cedar Run saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 1, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cedar Run, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 1, 2026 sits in Cedar Run's hail record.
This was Cedar Run's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 59 days after the Jul 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cedar Run at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cedar Run: the same system put hail over 362 other tracked cities, 80 of them in Pennsylvania. Nearest: Morris (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Waterville (9 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Gaines (16 miles northwest, up to 1.25").

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 Cedar Run. 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 Cedar Run 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
$60K
Potential roof exposure — 5 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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.
