Two ways to read the storm

How Selby 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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Selby, SD on Jun 7, 2026

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Selby, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 7, 2026 sits in Selby's hail record

This was Selby's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Selby at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Selby: the same system put hail over 237 other tracked cities, 21 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Hoven (16 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Bowdle (17 miles east, up to 0.75"); Tolstoy (24 miles southeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Selby's Jun 7, 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Selby roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$2.1M

Potential roof exposure — 175 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Other storms in Selby

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.
