How Volga 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Volga's hail record
This was Volga's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 23 days after the Jun 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Volga at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Volga: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 131 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Arlington (12 miles northwest, up to 0"); Elkton (15 miles east, up to 0.5"); Flandreau (16 miles southeast, up to 0").
These maps are stills from Volga's Jun 27, 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
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Volga for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 0.5" hail means for Volga roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
