Two ways to read the storm

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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Mount Horeb, WI on Apr 14, 2026

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.

Max size 1.25"

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 from Mount Horeb's Apr 14, 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.

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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1.25" hail means for Mount Horeb 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$40M

Potential roof exposure — 3,370 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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.
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.

Other storms in Mount Horeb

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 2, 2026.
