Hail in Halstead · Jun 10, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Halstead that day. At 2.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Halstead saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 10, 2026 · Halstead, KS
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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
2.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Halstead, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Halstead's hail record.
This was Halstead's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the May 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Halstead at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Halstead: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 61 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Burrton (5 miles west, up to 2.5"); Buhler (9 miles northwest, up to 2.5"); Newton (11 miles east, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Halstead 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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked east at roughly 25 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 32 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Newton — beyond Halstead itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Halstead roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 3, 2026.
