Two ways to read the storm

How Moundridge saw the hail — from two instruments

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

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 (18 miles north, up to 0.5"); Hillsboro (22 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Lindsborg (28 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Moundridge's Mar 1, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Moundridge roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

Other storms in Moundridge

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
