Evidence / storm surfaces
How Hampton saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Hampton, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 14, 2026 sits in Hampton's hail record.
This was Hampton's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Hampton at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Hampton: the same system put hail over 144 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Virginia. Nearest: Yorktown (15 miles north, up to 0.75"); Suffolk (35 miles southwest, up to 1"); Barhamsville (41 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Langley View and Raleigh Terrace — beyond Hampton itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Hampton 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$348M
Potential roof exposure — 29,005 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 145 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$2.2M
Close just 0.5% of the 29,005 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
June 2028
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $6,091 on top of the $150 plan.
