Milwaukee hail season 2026
23 NWS-recorded hail reports ≥1″ within 30 miles, across 5 storm days, max 2.00". Every one of those reports is a dated, located, citable official record — the context behind this market's 2026 claim volume.
Preliminary 2026 reports (SPC, season in progress)
Same-day SPC storm reports through 2026-06-13, before NCEI compiles the final record: 23 reports ≥1″ on 5 days, up to 2.00". Preliminary counts shift as reports are quality-controlled; they are labeled preliminary in every report we generate.

Provenance
Final counts: NCEI Storm Events Database, file vintage c20260527, hail events with recorded magnitude ≥1.00″ and point coordinates within 30 miles of the Milwaukee anchor. Preliminary counts: SPC daily storm reports through 2026-06-13. NWS records are point and path observations. The absence of a nearby report does NOT prove that no hail fell at this address — it means no observation was logged nearby. A report of nearby hail documents the event; it does not by itself prove damage to a specific structure. Spotted an error? Email the address on our terms page and we correct against the source.
