Evidence / storm surfaces
How Beloit saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 1, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 1, 2026 sits in Beloit's hail record.
This was Beloit's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the May 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 15th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Beloit at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Beloit: the same system put hail over 827 other tracked cities, 97 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Minneapolis (28 miles east, up to 1"); Miltonvale (38 miles east, up to 1"); Davenport (65 miles north, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Beloit 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
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.
For this storm over Beloit, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Beloit 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.
