Hit 30 days agoBoth radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 34 hail signatures up to 2", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.25" aloft. At 2" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Oxford saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Oxford's hail record
This was Oxford's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Jun 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Oxford at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Oxford: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 132 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Belle Plaine (7 miles north, up to 1.75"); Udall (9 miles northeast, up to 1"); Wellington (12 miles west, up to 2").
These maps are stills from Oxford's Jul 4, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Oxford for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 2" hail means for Oxford 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.
