Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kingman saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 11, 2026 · Kingman, IN
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

The storm in context
Where Aug 11, 2026 sits in Kingman's hail record.
This was Kingman's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Aug 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kingman at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kingman: the same system put hail over 1,041 other tracked cities, 170 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Cayuga (5 miles west, up to 1.25"); Montezuma (7 miles south, up to 1"); Hillsboro (13 miles northeast, up to 1.75").
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.

High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Kingman roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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.
