Storm reports

Storm history you can check yourself. Source-stamped PDFs.

Documented hail, wind and tornado history, with dates, severity, duration, radar imagery and address context.

  • NOAA & NWS data sources
  • Source-stamped PDFs

Official records and radar-derived estimates, with sources you can inspect.

Reported observations, radar scans and derived estimates provide different kinds of evidence. Read the source and location context alongside each record.

Official records

Reported events, spotter observations and official datasets.

  • Storm report page: a subject property table above an executive summary panel giving closest reported hail, largest reported hail, and peak gust, each with the NOAA source and date it came from.

    NOAA Storm Events

    Official severe-weather event records, including reported hail size, wind, tornadoes, and damage estimates.

  • Storm report page headed Storm Timeline: a chronological list of hail reports, severe thunderstorm warnings, and a measured wind gust, each row stamped with its time, distance from the property, and named source.

    NWS Storm Data

    County-level storm reports, trained-spotter observations, and post-event surveys.

Radar and derived estimates

Radar observations and information estimated from radar.

  • Storm report page headed Radar Evolution: six time-stamped NOAA composite reflectivity frames centered on the subject property, tracking the storm cell across the afternoon, above a dBZ reflectivity scale.

    NEXRAD Level II

    WSR-88D Doppler radar archive. Reflectivity, velocity, and dual-polarization scans every 4–6 minutes.

  • Storm report page headed Hail Swath: a hail-size overlay in yellow through purple bands lying across a street map with distance rings and a legend from 0.5 to 3 inches.

    MESH algorithm

    Maximum Estimated Size of Hail derived from radar reflectivity at the freezing level. A derived radar estimate, not a ground observation.

Illustrative sample pages. These images show report structure, not a new weather result for your property.

What you get with every report.

Weather records, radar context and source links, laid out together so you can inspect their provenance.

  • Event summary

    Date, time, peak hail size, peak wind and duration, with the source context for each record.

  • Radar imagery

    Radar reflectivity at storm peak, paired with cited hail and wind records near the address.

  • Storm timeline

    Documented hail, wind and tornado events in chronological order, with source links and location context.

  • Source bibliography

    NOAA, NWS and SPC links back to the underlying records and sources.

  • Wind addendum

    Gust history with cited NWS source context.

  • Pairs with photos

    Weather records and site photos can sit together in one file as separate kinds of evidence.

When to pull a storm report.

Review cited weather history before planning fieldwork. The canvassing app included with the CRM is where your team runs the doors.

  • Storm-date confirmation

    Review dates and cited weather evidence near an address when a customer remembers a past storm.

  • Prove the storm happened

    Inspect reported events and radar context for a storm date rather than relying on memory. Weather records do not establish damage at a property.

  • Pre-canvass intel

    Review cited weather history before planning fieldwork. This is an address-specific report, not a regional report or an automated street recommendation.

  • Back up the estimate

    Keep cited weather history beside an estimate as event context. The report does not validate repair scope or cost.

  • Consistent records

    Keep a consistent cited weather history in the job file, so the underlying records are easy to find again.

  • Repeat-exposure pattern

    Review separate documented events over time. A weather history does not establish repeated property damage.
