The Problem

Reliable Hail Information Is Too Hard to Access and Too Hard to Share

After a hailstorm, reliable information is often scattered across alerts, reports, social posts, screenshots, and hard-to-read data sources. Homeowners, buyers, sellers, contractors, adjusters, insurance teams, real estate pros, and researchers are left trying to understand what happened, what it means, and how to share it clearly.

Scattered hail information sources shown around a public hail map

Hail Info Is Scattered

Storm details are spread across alerts, reports, posts, and private tools, making the full picture hard to assemble.

Crowd Reports Are Patchy

Local reports and social posts rely on someone seeing, measuring, and posting the hail — and often miss key details.

Source Context Is Missing

People may see a hail map without knowing the source, the update time, or what it actually means.

Information Arrives Late

Hail details often appear only after the storm has passed, limiting any real-time review.

Hail Maps Are Confusing

Some hail maps make it hard to separate broad storm activity from the meaningful hail signal.

The Next Step Is Unclear

People may not know whether to ignore it, request a report, verify closer, or contact a pro.

The Solution

Free Reliable Hail Information You Can Use and Share With Attribution

Open Hail Maps bring official NOAA weather data into one clear public reference — so instead of piecing together scattered alerts, posts, and reports, you can see where hail was detected, how strong it looked, and what next step may make sense. Free to view, use, and share with attribution.

For Homeowners

Start With the Hail Map Before Taking the Next Step

Homeowners should not have to wait, pay, or give out personal details just to see whether hail was detected nearby. Open Hail Maps gives homeowners a free public starting point to review the storm, understand the hail swath, and decide whether a local report or professional inspection may make sense.

Check Nearby Hail Activity

Start with the public hail map to see whether hail was detected near the area you care about.

Understand the Storm Level

Review the estimated hail strength and storm context to see whether the event looked minor, moderate, or more serious.

Avoid Unsupported Claim Decisions

Use public storm data as an early guide before assuming property damage or making insurance decisions based only on a vague hail claim.

Avoid Pressure-Based Decisions

Take a calm first look before relying only on a sales conversation, door knock, or “hail hit your area” statement.

Get a More Local View

Move from the public hail map to a free local area hail report when you want a clearer summary for your area.

Choose the Right Next Step

Decide whether to ignore the event, keep watching, ask a pro for a Remote Hail Inspection, or schedule an in-person inspection.

Common Questions About Open Hail Maps

Are HailGeeks hail maps free?

Yes. Open Hail Maps are free to view, use, and share — no account, address, or payment required. Registered business users can unlock additional interactive map features, but public map access is free.

What data are the hail maps based on?

Open Hail Maps are built on official NOAA weather data, including NOAA NEXRAD radar, SPC local storm reports, and additional supporting datasets.

How current are the hail maps?

Registered business accounts can see hail maps update in near real time, typically within minutes of new radar scans. Public, logged-out map views may update more slowly because of caching, so they may show a slightly delayed version.

Can I share or republish a hail map?

Yes, as long as you include proper attribution. When sharing or referencing a map, credit it as: Source: Open Hail Maps by HailGeeks™ — hailgeeks.com.

How do I find hail for a specific area?

Search by ZIP code or storm date to find the public hail map for the area you are interested in. From there, you can review the hail swath and, if it looks relevant, run a free ZIP hail report.

What is a hail swath?

A hail swath shows the path where hail was mapped during a storm. It helps homeowners see whether hail activity passed near their area and where the strongest hail signal was detected.

Do hail maps show if my roof was damaged?

No. Hail maps show where hail was detected and how strong the mapped hail signal appeared. They do not confirm damage to any specific property. Actual roof or exterior damage can only be confirmed through an in-person inspection.

What areas do the hail maps cover?

Open Hail Maps cover 300+ regions across the contiguous United States, with 5+ years of hail history available across regions.

Do I need an account to use the hail maps?

No. Anyone can view and search public hail maps without signing up. A free registered business account is only needed to unlock additional features.

How do I check hail at my home?

Use a free address hail report to check recent hail activity at a specific property. Hail maps are the public area-level starting point, while address reports help review hail activity tied to the home.

What does Home Inspection Score mean?

Home Inspection Score is a simple hail-activity signal that helps show where a roof or home exterior inspection may be worth considering. It is based on mapped hail activity in the area, not confirmed property damage. A higher score means the location may deserve a closer look before buying, selling, repairing, or deciding whether to request a home, roof, or exterior inspection. Use it as a quick research starting point when browsing hail maps.
