The March 10, 2026 hail storm produced severe damage across DuPage County, with the National Weather Service confirming hail up to 4.8 inches in Darien, 2.75 to 4.0 inches in Westmont, 3.0 to 3.25 inches in Woodridge, and 2.75 inches in southeast Downers Grove. Naperville homeowners in areas bordering Woodridge, Lisle, and Bolingbrook may have experienced similar conditions.

Even if no damage is visible from the ground, hail at these sizes causes granule loss, bruising, and cracking in asphalt shingles that typically requires a hands-on inspection to identify. Ridge caps, valleys, pipe boots, vent flashings, and gutters are the areas most commonly affected.
