Hail in Abilene · Jun 10, 2026

The estimated-size surface reached 2" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Abilene that day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

How Abilene saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 10, 2026 · Abilene, KS

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 Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Abilene, KS on Jun 10, 2026 Estimated size field

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.

The storm in context

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 17 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: Enterprise (9 miles southeast, up to 2"); Chapman (11 miles east, up to 1.5"); Longford (14 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 Abilene 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

Hail was reported over 17 minutes, from to .

Reports came from Enterprise — beyond Abilene itself.

Severe hail signal

What 2" hail means for Abilene roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 Sep 13, 2026.
