Hail & Storm Tracking — Real-Time Severe Weather Intelligence for Roofers

Know where the damage is before your competitors do. Real-time hail data, storm event maps, and a 7-day forecast — all inside your roofing platform.

Storm Chasers Need Intel

Every spring and summer, severe storms create billions of dollars in roof damage across the U.S. — tracked by NOAA billion-dollar weather disasters and FEMA disaster declarations. The contractors who get to those neighborhoods first close the most jobs. But "first" requires intelligence — you need to know exactly where the hail fell, how large it was, and which neighborhoods were in the path.

Roof Visualizer Pro integrates real-time severe weather data from NOAA directly into your dashboard. No more guessing, no more chasing weather apps. The data comes to you, mapped to your service area, ready to drive your next canvassing campaign.

Real-Time NOAA Hail Data

We pull hail reports directly from NOAA's Severe Weather Data Inventory (SWDI) — the same database used by insurance adjusters and meteorologists. Over 4.5 million hail events are indexed and searchable.

NOAA SWDI database — 4.5M+ hail reports
SPC (Storm Prediction Center) fallback data
Hail size, location, and timestamp for every report
NEXRAD radar tile overlays for active storms

Storm Event Tracking

Search for hail and severe weather events by zip code, city, or county. Filter by date range to find storms from the past week, month, or year. Every event includes location coordinates, hail diameter, and timestamp so you know exactly what hit and when.

By Location

Zip code, city, county, or custom radius

By Date Range

Last 7 days, 30 days, or custom range

By Hail Size

Filter by diameter — quarter, golf ball, baseball

Hail Swath Map Overlays

See the path of destruction on an interactive map. Hail swath overlays show you the exact neighborhoods affected by a storm event, color-coded by hail severity. Zoom in to street level to plan your canvassing route.

Storm-to-Lead Pipeline

The whole point of storm tracking is closing jobs. Our storm-to-lead pipeline connects the weather data to your sales workflow: identify damaged neighborhoods, launch a canvassing campaign, capture leads on the spot, and create jobs with storm event data already attached.

Step 1

Detect Storm

NOAA hail data hits your dashboard

Step 2

Map Damage

See affected neighborhoods

Step 3

Canvass

Knock doors with pin tracking

Step 4

Close

Lead becomes a job in your CRM

7-Day Weather Forecast

Plan your work week with confidence. The built-in 7-day forecast, powered by Google Weather API, shows daytime and nighttime conditions so you know which days are safe to schedule installs and which days to spend on office work or sales calls.

Daytime and nighttime breakdowns
Temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and humidity
Schedule installs around the weather, not despite it

Use Cases

Storm Restoration Contractors

You live and die by storm season. Storm tracking gives you real-time hail intelligence so you can deploy crews to affected neighborhoods before your competition even checks the weather. Pair with canvassing to log every door knocked and convert damage into signed contracts.

Insurance Claim Support

Storm event data attached to jobs gives you a documented timeline for insurance claims. Show adjusters exactly when the hail hit, how large it was, and which NOAA report corresponds to the damage. Better documentation means faster approvals.

Retail Roofers

Even if storm chasing isn't your primary business, monitoring hail events in your service area lets you proactively reach out to past customers and neighbors. A well-timed call after a hail event converts at 3-5x the normal rate.

Multi-Location Operations

Track storms across multiple service areas simultaneously. When hail hits one territory, you can redirect crews and sales teams where the demand is highest. The 7-day forecast helps you schedule around weather windows in every location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the hail data come from?

We pull real-time and historical hail reports from NOAA's Severe Weather Data Inventory (SWDI), which contains over 4.5 million hail events. SPC (Storm Prediction Center) CSV data is used as a fallback source.

How quickly are storm events available?

NOAA hail reports are typically available within hours of occurrence. Real-time radar overlays update continuously so you can monitor active storm cells as they move through your service area.

Can I filter storms by zip code or date range?

Yes. You can search for hail events by zip code, city, county, or custom date range. This lets you zero in on specific neighborhoods affected by recent storms and plan your canvassing accordingly.

Does storm tracking work with the CRM?

Absolutely. When you identify a storm-damaged area, you can create leads and jobs directly from the storm tracking interface. Those contacts flow into your CRM pipeline with the storm event data attached for insurance documentation.

Is there an additional cost for weather tracking?

Storm tracking and 7-day weather forecasts are included in all paid plans. There is no per-query fee for weather data or hail lookups.
