Fremont hail storm history
Dodge County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Fremont, located in Dodge County, has experienced 12 hail events of 1 inch or larger over the past 10 years, with 7 of those reaching 1.5 inches or greater in diameter. The city sits in eastern Nebraska's corridor where Gulf moisture interacts with the dryline and jet stream, creating conditions that frequently produce large-hail supercell thunderstorms capable of functional roof damage.
Hail risk in Fremont peaks during May and June, when atmospheric conditions are most favorable for severe thunderstorm development. April and July represent secondary risk months. The Omaha-Lincoln corridor, which includes Fremont's location in Dodge County, ranks among the highest-frequency large-hail zones in the United States, driven by seasonal wind shear and moisture patterns that favor organized storm systems.

Fremont's hail event count reflects NOAA's Storm Events Database, which relies on trained spotters, emergency management reports, and public submissions. The most recent significant event occurred on September 23, 2025, when measured 2-inch hailstones were documented through social media reports and radar confirmation. Current-year data is excluded from the annual frequency table until October, when NOAA's Storm Events Database has processed the full hail season accounting for the standard 75-day reporting lag.
