Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kingman 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

This was Kingman's 15th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kingman at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kingman: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 120 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Cunningham (19 miles west, up to 1.5"); Conway Springs (28 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Anthony (28 miles south, up to 0.75").

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.
Wind reports
1 reportHigh damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Kingman 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.
