Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mayetta 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 17, 2026 sits in Mayetta's hail record.
This was Mayetta's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 21 days after the Apr 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mayetta at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mayetta: the same system put hail over 894 other tracked cities, 134 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Topeka (10 miles south, up to 1"); Circleville (11 miles north, up to 1"); Emmett (11 miles west, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Mayetta 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 Mayetta. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Mayetta 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.
