Two ways to read the storm

How Newcastle saw the hail — from two instruments

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Newcastle, WY on Jun 22, 2026

Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

Max size 1.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Newcastle, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Newcastle's hail record

This was Newcastle's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 16 days after the Jun 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Newcastle at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Newcastle: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 17 of them in Wyoming. Nearest: Osage (14 miles north, up to 1.25"); Upton (22 miles north, up to 1.25"); Edgemont (29 miles southeast, up to 1.25").

These maps are stills from Newcastle's Jun 22, 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.

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.

What 1.5" hail means for Newcastle roofs

At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the 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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
