The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 3.5" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Oberlin this day. At 3.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

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.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Oberlin, so there is one map to show, not two.
This was Oberlin's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Oberlin at 3.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Oberlin: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 121 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Herndon (13 miles west, up to 3.5"); Ludell (22 miles west, up to 3.5"); Selden (28 miles south, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills from Oberlin's Jun 20, 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.
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.

Reports came from Ludell — beyond Oberlin itself.
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.
