Two ways to read the storm

How Murdock 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-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Murdock, KS on Mar 10, 2026

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 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Murdock, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Murdock's hail record

This was Murdock's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Murdock at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Murdock: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 68 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Cheney (5 miles east, up to 1.25"); Garden Plain (11 miles east, up to 1"); Kingman (15 miles southwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Murdock's Mar 10, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1.25" hail means for Murdock roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

Other storms in Murdock

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.
