Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mount Horeb saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Mount Horeb, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Apr 14, 2026 sits in Mount Horeb's hail record.
This was Mount Horeb's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Mar 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mount Horeb at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mount Horeb: the same system put hail over 476 other tracked cities, 94 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Verona (9 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Blue Mounds (9 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Black Earth (14 miles north, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Mount Horeb 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.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Mount Horeb for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Mount Horeb 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
$40M
Potential roof exposure — 3,370 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 17 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$255K
Close just 0.5% of the 3,370 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
April 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 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 $708 on top of the $150 plan.
