Rhode Island Hail Map — Last 30 SPC Reporting Days
While Rhode Island experiences fewer severe hailstorms than the Midwest, summer thunderstorms can still bring damaging hail to Providence, Warwick, and coastal communities. Our Rhode Island hail map helps residents and contractors track storm damage and severe weather patterns across the state. This page shows live NOAA/SPC hail reports for Rhode Island in the last 30 days.
About hail reports in Rhode Island
Rhode Island averages only 1 to 2 severe hail days per year, typically occurring between June and August when warm, humid air fuels thunderstorms. Notable events include a severe storm in August 2015 that dropped 1-inch hail in Providence County, causing localized vehicle and property damage. Due to its small size and coastal influence, large hail is rare, but monitoring remains crucial for storm damage assessment.
This Rhode Island statewide 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
- Open the interactive map and review reported hail in the selected area.
- Compare the broader storm corridor with radar, hail swaths, and Timeline replay.
- Use Market Priority, Impact View, and map layers to focus the next area.
- Save the investigation as a property report, lead workflow, alert, or export.

Data and method
THOR uses preliminary NOAA Storm Prediction Center reports as a starting point for local hail research. Reports can be revised or incomplete, so use the interactive map and available radar context to investigate the broader storm picture.

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.
