Evidence / storm surfaces

How Erie saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 31, 2026 · Erie, 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.

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.

The storm in context

Where Mar 31, 2026 sits in Erie's hail record.

This was Erie's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the Mar 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Erie at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Mar 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Erie: the same system put hail over 522 other tracked cities, 43 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Walnut (9 miles southeast, up to 1"); Chanute (14 miles west, up to 1"); Saint Paul (15 miles south, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Erie 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.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Erie roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

991 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$12M

Potential roof exposure — 991 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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.
