How hail alerts work

Tell us the ZIP codes or states you care about and the smallest hail size worth a drive. After a storm, SwathIQ samples NOAA's MRMS radar (the same MESH estimate behind the hail map); when hail at or above your threshold shows up in your area, you get an email -- or a text, if you added a number. Each alert links straight to the map for that date so you can see the swath and pull a route. It's the fastest way to be first to the door after a damaging hailstorm.

Why size threshold matters

Roof damage generally starts around 1″ hail and gets serious at 1.5″ and up. Setting your threshold filters out the pea-size noise so you only hear about storms worth chasing. Homeowners can set it lower to catch anything near the house.

FAQ

Are hail alerts free?

Yes. Email alerts by ZIP or state are free; unsubscribe anytime from a link in every alert.

How fast are the alerts?

Sent after NOAA radar shows hail at or above your size in your area -- typically within hours. Radar-indicated, not a damage guarantee.

Can I get them by text?

Yes -- add a mobile number and opt in. Message & data rates may apply; reply STOP to cancel.

Data & method: NOAA MRMS MESH radar + NOAA/NWS SPC reports. Alerts are radar-indicated and best-effort -- informational only, not a guarantee of damage or a valid claim.
