Hail in Leon Mar 31, 2026
Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 0 hail signatures up to 2.5", and the radar-estimated size reached 1" aloft. At 2.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Leon saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
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.
Where Mar 31, 2026 sits in Leon's hail record
This was Leon's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 21 days after the Mar 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Leon at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Leon: the same system put hail over 522 other tracked cities, 43 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Latham (7 miles south, up to 2.5"); Burden (14 miles south, up to 1"); Piedmont (17 miles east, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Leon's Mar 31, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Leon for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 2.5" hail means for Leon roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
