How Kingman saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 27, 2026 · Kingman, IN

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where Apr 27, 2026 sits in Kingman's hail record.

This was Kingman's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 36 days after the Mar 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kingman at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Apr 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kingman: the same system put hail over 1,188 other tracked cities, 125 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Rockville (13 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Veedersburg (14 miles north, up to 1"); Covington (15 miles north, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Kingman storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Kingman. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

What 0" hail means for Kingman roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 14, 2026.
