Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cedar Point saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cedar Point, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Cedar Point's hail record.
This was Cedar Point's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Sep 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cedar Point at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cedar Point: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 90 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Elmdale (4 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Florence (5 miles west, up to 0.5"); Cottonwood Falls (16 miles east, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Cedar Point 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Cedar Point. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Cedar Point 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$312K
Potential roof exposure — 26 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $5 on top of the $150 plan.
