Two ways to read the storm

How Leoti 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-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.

Where Jun 30, 2026 sits in Leoti's hail record

This was Leoti's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Leoti at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Leoti: the same system put hail over 720 other tracked cities, 42 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Scott City (23 miles east, up to 1"); Deerfield (25 miles southeast, up to 1"); Sharon Springs (32 miles northwest, up to 2").

These maps are stills from Leoti's Jun 30, 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Leoti roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

Other storms in Leoti

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
