Evidence / storm surfaces

How Mulvane saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 18, 2026 · Mulvane, 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
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Mulvane, KS on Jun 18, 2026 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 0.5"

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

The storm in context

Where Jun 18, 2026 sits in Mulvane's hail record.

This was Mulvane's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Jun 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mulvane at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mulvane: the same system put hail over 221 other tracked cities, 42 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Belle Plaine (7 miles south, up to 1"); Wichita (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Clearwater (11 miles west, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Mulvane 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Mulvane 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.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

271 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$3.3M

Potential roof exposure — 271 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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 Sep 10, 2026.
