How Logan saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 14, 2026 · Logan, KS

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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Logan, KS on Sep 14, 2026 Estimated size field

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.

Max size 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Logan, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 14, 2026 sits in Logan's hail record.

This was Logan's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the Aug 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Logan at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Logan: the same system put hail over 110 other tracked cities, 10 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Hill City (17 miles southwest, up to 1"); Penokee (34 miles southwest, up to 1"); Morland (43 miles southwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Logan 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.

Storm forensics

How the storm moved

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.

The storm tracked east at roughly 10 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.

Hail was reported over 31 minutes, from to .

Reports came from Speed — beyond Logan itself.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1.25" hail means for Logan roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

641 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

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 15, 2026.
