How Leoti saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 30, 2026 · Leoti, KS

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.

The storm in context

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 13th of the 15 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: Deerfield (22 miles southeast, up to 1"); Tribune (23 miles west, up to 1"); Scott City (25 miles east, up to 1").

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

Reports came from Selkirk — beyond Leoti itself.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Leoti roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 10, 2026.
