About Warren County, MS
Warren County rises along the bluffs above the Mississippi River in west-central Mississippi, where the floodplain meets gently rolling loess hills. Hail is uncommon here and tends to stay small, on the order of marble size, since the warm and very moist Gulf air that feeds spring storms usually favors heavy rain and wind over large stones. Coverage comes from the Jackson/Brandon, MS (KDGX) radar about 51 miles to the east, near enough to track storms moving in from the west well.
The hail record for Warren County, MS
Rather than a single peak, hail turns up from spring through summer in Warren County, most often in June.
Warren County is no Plains hot spot, but the storms that do reach it have still dropped hail up to 1.3″.

Does homeowner's insurance cover hail damage?
Hail is a covered peril under most standard homeowner's policies (typically HO-3), subject to your deductible. Whether you have replacement-cost or actual-cash-value coverage makes a big difference in what's paid out. Your declarations page will say which.
Is Warren County's hail big enough to damage a roof?
It can be. Asphalt shingles can begin showing functional damage in the ¾-to-1-inch range, and Warren County's confirmed hail reaches 1.3″. At these sizes damage is often hard to see from the ground, so whether it's a claimable loss depends on shingle type, age, and an inspection.
Did it hail in Warren County in 2026?
Yes, 1 confirmed hail event so far in 2026, most recently April 28, 2026.
How much does hail roof damage cost to repair?
It ranges widely. Minor repairs can run a few hundred dollars, while a full roof replacement on an average home often runs $8,000–$20,000+ depending on size, pitch, and material. What you actually pay depends on your deductible and whether your policy is replacement-cost or actual-cash-value.

What this means for your home
Damage can be invisible from the ground
At Warren County's typical sizes, hail often bruises shingles and loosens granules without obvious holes, shortening roof life in ways that are easy to miss until the next storm or an inspection.
Document before you repair
If you suspect hail damage, photograph it and note the storm's date before making any repairs. Undocumented or already-fixed damage is much harder to claim later.
Know your hail deductible
Many policies in hail-prone states use a percentage deductible, often 1–2% of the home's insured value rather than a flat dollar amount. On a $400,000 home that can be $4,000–$8,000 out of pocket before coverage starts, so it's worth checking your declarations page before a storm.
Keep a 'before' record
Photos of your roof and exterior in good condition make new hail damage much easier to prove later. A few shots now, before the next storm, can save an argument with an adjuster over what's old wear and what's storm damage.
Replacement cost vs. actual cash value
An RCV policy pays to replace your roof at today's prices; an ACV policy subtracts depreciation for the roof's age, which can mean a much smaller check on an older roof. Knowing which you carry shapes what a hail claim is actually worth.
Get more than one estimate
After a damaging storm, reputable local roofers get busy and out-of-town crews flood in. Get multiple written estimates and verify licensing and local references before signing anything.
