Hail in Abilene Jun 10, 2026
The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 2" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Abilene this day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

How Abilene saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
2"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Abilene, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Abilene's hail record
This was Abilene's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Abilene at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Abilene: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 61 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Solomon (5 miles west, up to 1.5"); Enterprise (11 miles east, up to 2"); New Cambria (11 miles west, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills from Abilene's Jun 10, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Reports came from Enterprise — beyond Abilene itself.
What 2" hail means for Abilene roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
