Evidence / storm surfaces
How Eureka saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Jul 10, 2026 sits in Eureka's hail record.
This was Eureka's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jul 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Eureka at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Eureka: the same system put hail over 682 other tracked cities, 56 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Piedmont (14 miles south, up to 1"); Rosalia (14 miles west, up to 1"); Toronto (14 miles east, up to 0.5").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Eureka. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Eureka 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.
