Hail reported in Wisconsin on July 27, 2026

37 hail reports across 35 towns in 13 counties. The largest measured 4.50″ — softball size at 2 NW Gresham.

Well above the size that commonly damages roofs, siding and vehicles. Whether hail actually struck any particular roof can only be settled by someone standing on it — but the date, the size and the source travel well on a claim form, and they are all public record.

These are reports, not a survey. Local Storm Reports are preliminary observations from NWS forecast offices, contributed by spotters, the public, mesonet stations and emergency managers. Coverage follows where people are, not where hail is: no report does NOT mean no hail. Sizes are frequently rounded to a coin size and some times are radar-estimated. Reports may be revised or withdrawn.

No report near you does not mean no hail near you. A large stone that falls in an empty field is reported by nobody. Use this to confirm what did happen, never to rule out what didn't.

Times and dates here are GMT, not local. GMT runs 4–8 hours ahead of the US, so an evening storm is recorded under the following date. If you are writing a date of loss on a claim form, check the local time — being one day off is a real reason a carrier can push back.
