Evidence / storm surfaces
How Marion saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 8, 2026 · Marion, KS
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

The storm in context
Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in Marion's hail record.
This was Marion's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the May 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Marion at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Marion: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 173 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Lincolnville (7 miles north, up to 1.75"); Elmdale (9 miles northeast, up to 1"); Tampa (11 miles northwest, up to 2.5").

High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Marion roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 14, 2026.
