Evidence / storm surfaces

How Anthony saw the hail — from two instruments

May 30, 2026 · Anthony, KS

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.

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.

The storm in context

Where May 30, 2026 sits in Anthony's hail record.

This was Anthony's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the May 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Anthony at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Anthony: the same system put hail over 541 other tracked cities, 228 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Harper (9 miles northwest, up to 2.5"); Bluff City (9 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Danville (9 miles northeast, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Anthony 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Anthony for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Anthony 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 3, 2026.
