Evidence / storm surfaces
How Pratt saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 19, 2026 · Pratt, KS
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Map image is still rendering for this surface.
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 Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Pratt, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Pratt's hail record.
This was Pratt's 19th recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Sep 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pratt at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pratt: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 90 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Coats (15 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Isabel (17 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Turon (19 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
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.

Near 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
575 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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.
