Evidence / storm surfaces
How Centralia saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 30, 2026 · Centralia, 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

The storm in context
Where Jul 30, 2026 sits in Centralia's hail record.
This was Centralia's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 22 days after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Centralia at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Centralia: the same system put hail over 432 other tracked cities, 38 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Frankfort (22 miles west, up to 1"); Home (27 miles northwest, up to 0"); Leonardville (41 miles southwest, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Centralia 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
1 report 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Reports came from Corning — beyond Centralia itself.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Centralia 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.

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.
