Evidence / storm surfaces
How Pratt 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.
Estimated size field 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jan 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Pratt, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jan 10, 2026 sits in Pratt's hail record.
This was Pratt's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 16th of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pratt at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jan 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pratt: the same system put hail over 7 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Harper (39 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Demopolis (712 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Linden (717 miles southeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 18 Pratt 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Pratt. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Pratt roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$240K
Potential roof exposure — 20 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
January 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around January 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $4 on top of the $150 plan.
