Evidence / storm surfaces

How Newcastle saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 22, 2026 · Newcastle, WY

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

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 10th of the 14 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 (17 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Upton (21 miles north, up to 1.25"); Gillette (38 miles west, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Newcastle 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 1.5" hail means for Newcastle 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 Sep 7, 2026.
