Evidence / storm surfaces
How Copeland saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 30, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 30, 2026 sits in Copeland's hail record.
This was Copeland's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 28 days after the Jul 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Copeland at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Copeland: the same system put hail over 432 other tracked cities, 38 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Montezuma (13 miles southeast, up to 1"); Cimarron (28 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Dodge City (30 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Copeland 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Copeland. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Copeland 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.
