Hail in Herington · Jun 10, 2026

The estimated-size surface reached 2" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Herington that day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

How Herington saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 10, 2026 · Herington, 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.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Herington, KS on Jun 10, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 2"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Herington, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Herington's hail record.

This was Herington's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Herington at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Herington: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 61 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Lost Springs (7 miles south, up to 2"); Woodbine (7 miles north, up to 1.5"); Hope (8 miles west, up to 2").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Herington 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.

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.

Severe hail signal

What 2" hail means for Herington 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 Sep 20, 2026.
