How Lake Geneva saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

This was Lake Geneva's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 24 days after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lake Geneva at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lake Geneva: the same system put hail over 803 other tracked cities, 128 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Burlington (8 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Twin Lakes (9 miles southeast, up to 1.5"); Wilmot (12 miles southeast, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills from Lake Geneva's Jul 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Lake Geneva. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
What 1" hail means for Lake Geneva roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
