Hail in New Cambria Jun 8, 2026

Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 0 hail signatures up to 2.5", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.5" aloft. At 2.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

Two ways to read the storm

How New Cambria saw the hail — from two instruments

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in New Cambria's hail record

This was New Cambria's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the May 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over New Cambria at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than New Cambria: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 173 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Solomon (5 miles east, up to 2.5"); Salina (6 miles southwest, up to 2.5"); Bennington (9 miles northwest, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills from New Cambria's Jun 8, 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.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 2.5" hail means for New Cambria roofs

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

Other storms in New Cambria

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.
