How Mayetta saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 18, 2026 · Mayetta, KS

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 map of the storm over Mayetta, KS on Aug 18, 2026 — 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.

Max size 1.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 18, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Mayetta, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 18, 2026 sits in Mayetta's hail record.

This was Mayetta's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Aug 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mayetta at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mayetta: the same system put hail over 309 other tracked cities, 47 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Delia (6 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Circleville (11 miles north, up to 1"); Holton (13 miles northeast, up to 1.25").

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.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Mayetta 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 Aug 19, 2026.
