Hail in Oswego Jun 25, 2026

Hit 39 days ago

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 Oswego 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 25, 2026 sits in Oswego's hail record

This was Oswego's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Jun 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Oswego at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Oswego: the same system put hail over 395 other tracked cities, 95 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Altamont (8 miles west, up to 4"); Mc Cune (11 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Mound Valley (15 miles northwest, up to 4").

These maps are stills from Oswego's Jun 25, 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.

Ground reports

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Oswego. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 2.5" hail means for Oswego 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 Oswego

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 2, 2026.
