Questions about the July 5, 2026 hail
How big was the hail on July 5, 2026?
No measured sizes were reported on July 5, 2026. Radar (NOAA MRMS MESH) also estimated the swath footprint — an estimate, not a measurement.
Did the July 5, 2026 hail hit my address?
Use the hail map's address search: it lists every dated report within 25 miles of any US address and, for days in the radar archive, tests your exact point against the estimated swath — then prints a sourced report you can keep.
Sources: NWS Local Storm Reports via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet (reported sizes); NOAA MRMS MESH via Iowa State (radar-estimated swaths). Reported and estimated are different things and are labeled throughout. Compiled by Sigurd Lindquist · AGSIST · no charge, no login.
