Evidence / storm surfaces
How Marysville saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
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.
The storm in context
Where May 18, 2026 sits in Marysville's hail record.
This was Marysville's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the May 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Marysville at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Marysville: the same system put hail over 726 other tracked cities, 258 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Oketo (7 miles north, up to 2.5"); Home (8 miles east, up to 2.5"); Bremen (11 miles northwest, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Marysville 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.
Ground reports
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Marysville. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Marysville 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.

Potential roof exposure
$13M
Potential roof exposure — 1,119 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 6 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$90K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,119 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
