Hail in Iron Ridge · Sep 3, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Iron Ridge that day. At 2.75" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Iron Ridge 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 Sep 3, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Iron Ridge, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 3, 2026 sits in Iron Ridge's hail record.
This was Iron Ridge's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 38 days after the Jul 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Iron Ridge at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Iron Ridge: the same system put hail over 494 other tracked cities, 71 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Mayville (7 miles north, up to 2.75"); Horicon (7 miles north, up to 2.5"); Hartford (8 miles southeast, up to 2.5").

Ground reports
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.
For this storm over Iron Ridge, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Severe hail signal
What 2.75" hail means for Iron Ridge roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$50M
Potential roof exposure — 4,192 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 21 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$315K
Close just 0.5% of the 4,192 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
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 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 $880 on top of the $150 plan.
