Hail in Macksville Jun 16, 2026
The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 3.5" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Macksville this day. At 3.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Macksville 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 hail size
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Macksville, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 16, 2026 sits in Macksville's hail record
This was Macksville's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Macksville at 3.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Macksville: the same system put hail over 225 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Belpre (5 miles west, up to 1.5"); Byers (15 miles south, up to 3.5"); Garfield (18 miles northwest, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Macksville's Jun 16, 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 3.5" hail means for Macksville 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.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

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.
