Evidence / storm surfaces
How Horicon saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 27, 2026 · Horicon, WI
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 Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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
1"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 27, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Horicon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 27, 2026 sits in Horicon's hail record.
This was Horicon's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 73 days after the May 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Horicon at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Horicon: the same system put hail over 803 other tracked cities, 128 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Mayville (5 miles east, up to 1"); Iron Ridge (7 miles south, up to 1.5"); Brownsville (7 miles north, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Horicon 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Horicon 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.
4,809 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$58M
Potential roof exposure — 4,809 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 24 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$360K
Close just 0.5% of the 4,809 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
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 4, 2026.
