About hail reports in Raleigh

Raleigh experiences its peak severe weather season during the spring and summer months, driven by warm, moist air from the Gulf and Atlantic colliding with cold fronts. The city has seen significant hail events, including notable spring storms that produced golf-ball-sized hail across the Piedmont region, causing extensive roof and vehicle damage.

This Raleigh area research page connects reported NOAA/SPC hail activity with THOR’s interactive map. Use the map to investigate a place, ZIP code, county, address, or storm area alongside available hail swaths, NEXRAD radar, and Timeline replay.

From hail research to field work

  1. Open the interactive map and review reported hail in the selected area.
  2. Compare the broader storm corridor with radar, hail swaths, and Timeline replay.
  3. Use Market Priority, Impact View, and map layers to focus the next area.
  4. Save the investigation as a property report, lead workflow, alert, or export.

Hail map questions

What is a hail swath map?

A hail swath is a radar-derived estimate of where a hail-producing storm cell traveled. THOR places swaths beside reported hail events, radar, and Timeline replay so you can study the full storm corridor.

Can I check hail history by address?

Yes. THOR searches by address, ZIP code, county, or place and creates Property Storm History reports that stay in My Reports for reopening, sharing, or browser PDF export.

Can roofing teams use THOR for canvassing?

Yes. THOR includes built-in canvassing with map pins, imported leads, statuses, notes, call and drive actions, follow-up dates, Storm Hits, Lead Storm Monitor, and exportable storm data.

How does THOR help prioritize storm damage work?

Market Priority compares the storm events already on the map with household, residential-density, population, and Residential Score context. Impact View, Heat Grid, and Timeline help the team sort the broader storm picture before field follow-up.
