How Cimarron 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.
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 over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Where Jul 23, 2026 sits in Cimarron's hail record
This was Cimarron's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jul 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cimarron at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cimarron: the same system put hail over 164 other tracked cities, 56 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Ensign (9 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Dodge City (18 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Fowler (26 miles south, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills from Cimarron's Jul 23, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Cimarron for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 1" hail means for Cimarron roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
