Hail in Meade · Jun 21, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Meade that day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Meade saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 21, 2026 · Meade, KS
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Max size
2"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Meade, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Meade's hail record.
This was Meade's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Jun 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Meade at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Meade: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 74 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Fowler (16 miles northeast, up to 2"); Ashland (19 miles east, up to 1.75"); Plains (19 miles northwest, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Meade 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.

How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked south at roughly 30 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 33 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Meade State Park, Minneola, Missler, and Fowler — beyond Meade itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for Meade roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
1,818 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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 27, 2026.
