How Philip 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.

Where Jun 9, 2026 sits in Philip's hail record
This was Philip's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Philip at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Philip: the same system put hail over 646 other tracked cities, 67 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Midland (30 miles east, up to 1.25"); Wanblee (45 miles south, up to 0.5"); Fort Pierre (61 miles east, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills from Philip's Jun 9, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
What people on the ground reported

What 1.75" hail means for Philip roofs
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$456K
Potential roof exposure — 38 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage. 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.

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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
