Check if your roof was damaged by recent hail
Hail risk in Jefferson City peaks during April, May, and June, when atmospheric conditions favor organized storm development across central Missouri. Secondary risk occurs in March and July. During these months, northeastward-tracking storm systems frequently produce hail stones capable of damaging roofs, vehicles, and siding.
