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

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 8, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in Newton's hail record
This was Newton's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the May 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Newton at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Newton: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 173 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Moundridge (18 miles northwest, up to 0"); Hillsboro (26 miles north, up to 1"); Peabody (26 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Newton'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.
What people on the ground reported
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 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.

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.
