Hail Report by Address — Historical Hail Lookup
A hail report by address lists every date since October 2021 when estimated hail at one U.S. property reached 0.50 in. or larger, with the estimated maximum size for each date — as a web report and PDF you can keep.
What a hail report shows
Each row is one storm date with a single Est. Max Hail value at the address, in inches. Dates when the estimated gust at the property reached 40 mph or more appear too, with the gust estimate, so one report covers both hazards. A value below its floor (0.50 in., 40 mph) shows as a dash.
For one date, the Audit Report maps the MRMS radar hail field over the property and lists every ground report from that day with its distance and NWS qualifier.
How StormAuditor sizes hail
The headline value comes from the radar cell that contains the property — nearby radar cells are context, never the number. Where radar shows hail nearby but the property's own cell is below the radar reporting threshold, a credible ground report within 3 miles can set the size, capped at the largest radar value within 3 miles.
MESH (Maximum Estimated Size of Hail) estimates the largest hail at the ground from NOAA radar on a grid of about 1 km. Many hailstorms produce no ground report at all, so the radar estimate covers dates the report record misses. Method: Hail Methodology.

Where the data comes from
NOAA MRMS MESH radar-estimated hail, NWS Local Storm Reports, and NWS severe thunderstorm warnings, combined under the SAHE-2 hail methodology. Every layer is listed with its resolution and update cadence on Data Sources.
Who uses hail reports
- Homeowners checking whether the hail that hit the neighborhood reached their roof.
- Roofing and restoration contractors scoping storm territory and documenting each property.
- Public adjusters and attorneys documenting a date of loss.
- Insurance teams comparing a claim's reported date with the public NOAA record.

Hail report questions
Is the hail report free?
The Free Report Snapshot (YES/NO for estimated hail of 0.75 in. or larger) and the Address Lookup are free with an account. The Weather Report is $2.99 for one address with no account, or included with Pro ($4.99/mo, 5 a day), or unlimited on Pro+ ($9.99/mo) and Organization ($29.99/mo, 5 accounts). Pro+ also adds statewide hail and wind maps.
How far back does the hail data go?
At-address hail estimates cover every storm date from October 1, 2021 through yesterday — more than 5 years. NOAA Storm Events hail records for every state and 578 cities go back to 2010 on the storm data pages.
What does "Est. Max Hail" mean?
It is the estimated maximum hail size at the address on that date. It comes from the MRMS MESH value in the radar cell that contains the property; where radar shows hail nearby but the property's own cell is below the radar reporting threshold, a credible ground report within 3 miles can set it, capped at the largest radar value within 3 miles.
What if the hail fell near the address but not on it?
The report sizes hail at the property itself. When the radar cell over the property stayed below 0.50 in. and no qualifying ground report set the size, the date is not listed for hail; the reports and warnings nearby stay visible in the free Address Lookup.
Does StormAuditor determine whether my roof is damaged?
No. It shows the estimated hail at the address by date from public NOAA data; the condition of a roof is established by inspection. See Limitations.
