Hail in Cimarron · Jun 20, 2026

The estimated-size surface reached 2.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Cimarron that day. At 2.75" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

How Cimarron saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 20, 2026 · Cimarron, KS

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Cimarron, KS on Jun 20, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 2.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cimarron, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Cimarron's hail record.

This was Cimarron's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cimarron at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cimarron: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 121 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Jetmore (11 miles east, up to 1.75"); Ingalls (11 miles west, up to 2"); Dodge City (20 miles southeast, up to 3").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Cimarron 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.

Storm forensics

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

The storm tracked south at roughly 20 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.

Hail was reported over 69 minutes, from to .

Reports came from Howell, Ingalls, and Kalvesta — beyond Cimarron itself.

Severe hail signal

What 2.75" hail means for Cimarron roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 10, 2026.
