Evidence / storm surfaces
How Huron 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.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 27, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Huron's hail record.
This was Huron's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 18 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Huron at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Huron: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 131 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Cavour (14 miles northeast, up to 0"); Wessington Springs (27 miles southwest, up to 0"); Doland (35 miles north, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Huron 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 Huron. 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" hail means for Huron 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.
