Evidence / storm surfaces
How Moundridge saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 1, 2026 · Moundridge, KS
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 1, 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 Mar 1, 2026 sits in Moundridge's hail record.
This was Moundridge's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 7th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Moundridge at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Moundridge: the same system put hail over 24 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Mcpherson (15 miles north, up to 0.5"); Hillsboro (18 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Lindsborg (26 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Moundridge 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
1 report filed with the NWS
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.
Hail reports
1 reportBelow the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Moundridge 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.

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 3, 2026.
