Fremont hail storm history
Dodge County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Fremont sits in Dodge County, part of the Omaha-Lincoln corridor where Gulf moisture, the dryline, and the jet stream converge to produce some of the highest-frequency large-hail activity in the United States. This geographic positioning makes the Fremont area a consistent target for supercell thunderstorms capable of significant property damage.
Check if your roof was damaged by recent hail
Hail activity in Fremont peaks during May and June, when atmospheric conditions are most favorable for organized thunderstorm development. April and July also see elevated hail frequency. These storms typically develop as supercells along the dryline, producing large hailstones with little warning and rapid storm movement across the area.
