Two ways to read the storm

How Long Lake 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
NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Long Lake, WI on Jun 28, 2026

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.

Max size 1" Detections 0

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 28, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 28, 2026 sits in Long Lake's hail record

This was Long Lake's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Long Lake at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Long Lake: the same system put hail over 348 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Florence (27 miles east, up to 1"); Watersmeet (30 miles northwest, up to 0"); Iron Mountain (39 miles east, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Long Lake's Jun 28, 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.

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Long Lake. 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Long Lake 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.

Other storms in Long Lake

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
