Hail in Pratt Jun 16, 2026
The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 3" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Pratt this day. At 3" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Pratt saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Max size
3"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Pratt, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 16, 2026 sits in Pratt's hail record
This was Pratt's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pratt at 3" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pratt: the same system put hail over 225 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Byers (19 miles northwest, up to 3.5"); Coats (20 miles west, up to 2.75"); Medicine Lodge (22 miles south, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills from Pratt's Jun 16, 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.

How the storm moved
Hail was reported over 18 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Coats, Cullison, and Byers — beyond Pratt itself.
What 3" hail means for Pratt 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.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

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 3, 2026.
