This page shows live NOAA/SPC hail reports for San Diego in the last 30 days.
About hail reports in San Diego
Hail in San Diego is relatively rare, typically occurring during strong winter Pacific storms or isolated summer thunderstorms in the inland valleys and mountains. Notable events, such as the unusual hailstorm in February 2018, brought small accumulating hail to coastal and inland areas, causing minor San Diego hail damage and traffic disruptions. The peak season for these rare events aligns with the winter months.
This San Diego 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.

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.
