Evidence / storm surfaces
How Chanute saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 12, 2026 · Chanute, 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.
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.
Max size
1"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Chanute, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Chanute's hail record.
This was Chanute's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 87 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Chanute at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Chanute: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 113 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Altoona (6 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Humboldt (11 miles north, up to 1"); Buffalo (11 miles west, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Chanute 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Chanute roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
6,283 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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.
