How Pratt saw the hail — from two instruments
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
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.
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 12th of the 14 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: Cunningham (19 miles east, up to 0.5"); Coats (20 miles west, up to 0.75"); St John (28 miles north, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills from Pratt'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.
Wind reports
1 reportWhat 0.75" hail means for Pratt roofs
Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

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.
