Evidence / storm surfaces
How Moran saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for May 17, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 17, 2026 sits in Moran's hail record.
This was Moran's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 20 days after the Apr 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Moran at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Moran: the same system put hail over 894 other tracked cities, 134 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Fort Scott (22 miles southeast, up to 0"); Eskridge (78 miles northwest, up to 0"); Kansas City (85 miles north, up to 0").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Moran 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.
For this storm over Moran, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Moran 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.
