Evidence / storm surfaces
How Goodland saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 9, 2026 · Goodland, 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context
Where Jul 9, 2026 sits in Goodland's hail record.
This was Goodland's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Goodland at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Goodland: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 120 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Edson (17 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Burlington (27 miles west, up to 1.75"); Weskan (28 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Goodland 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Goodland roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained 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 Aug 20, 2026.
