Evidence / storm surfaces
How Phillipsburg saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Phillipsburg, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Phillipsburg's hail record.
This was Phillipsburg's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 30 days after the Aug 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Phillipsburg at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Phillipsburg: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 113 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Republican City (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Alma (9 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Kensington (13 miles east, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Phillipsburg storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Phillipsburg 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Phillipsburg roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
