A storm day runs 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. Central (12:00 to 12:00 UTC), as the Storm Prediction Center counts it, so an evening storm stays on the day it fell. The radar swath covers the UTC calendar day, 7 p.m. Central the evening before to 7 p.m. Central this day.

Sources and terms
Sources: hail reports are NWS Local Storm Reports via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, as pulled 2026-11-13. Radar swaths are NOAA radar estimates of hail size via Iowa State. Counties are placed with US Census cartographic boundaries.
Local Storm Reports are preliminary and unverified: sizes are what spotters, the public and emergency managers reported, and NOAA NCEI's Storm Data, published months later, is the verified record. A report with no size counts toward the total but not toward the size figures. Severe size means 1 inch or larger, the National Weather Service threshold. Crops can be hurt by smaller hail, especially with wind, and the loss depends on growth stage: the corn growing point stays below ground until about V6, and leaf loss near tasseling costs the most yield (Assessing Hail Damage to Corn (NCH-1)). State is the state named on the report. County is placed from each report's coordinates (rounded to about 1 km), so a report near a county line can land in the neighboring county.
Known limits: the radar size is an estimate of the largest stone, not a measurement, and radar estimates tend to run large against measured stones.
