Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sheboygan 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.
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.
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 Jul 1, 2026 sits in Sheboygan's hail record.
This was Sheboygan's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Jun 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st 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 Jul 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sheboygan: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 101 of them in Wisconsin. Nearest: Sheboygan Falls (5 miles west, up to 3.5"); Cleveland (7 miles north, up to 1.75"); Kiel (14 miles northwest, up to 1.5").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Howards Grove — beyond Sheboygan itself.
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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$36M
Potential roof exposure — 2,973 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 15 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$225K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,973 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
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 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 $624 on top of the $150 plan.
