Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dupree saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 17, 2026 · Dupree, SD
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.

The storm in context
Where Aug 17, 2026 sits in Dupree's hail record.
This was Dupree's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 23 days after the Jul 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dupree at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dupree: the same system put hail over 428 other tracked cities, 29 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Faith (25 miles west, up to 2"); Eagle Butte (30 miles east, up to 0.75"); Isabel (42 miles north, up to 1").

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Dupree roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

314 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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 Aug 30, 2026.
