Evidence / storm surfaces
How Pratt saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 4, 2026 · Pratt, KS
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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 4, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Pratt's hail record.
This was Pratt's 13th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pratt at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pratt: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 132 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Coats (15 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Cunningham (19 miles east, up to 0.5"); St John (24 miles north, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 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
1 report filed with the NWS
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.
Wind reports
1 reportNear the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Pratt 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.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 20, 2026.
