Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sheboygan saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 31, 2026 · Sheboygan, WI
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 Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

The storm in context
Where Mar 31, 2026 sits in Sheboygan's hail record.
This was Sheboygan's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Mar 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sheboygan at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sheboygan: the same system put hail over 522 other tracked cities, 92 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Sheboygan Falls (5 miles west, up to 1.75"); Cleveland (7 miles north, up to 1.5"); Kiel (14 miles northwest, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Sheboygan 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.

High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Sheboygan roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
