Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sabetha 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.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 4, 2026 sits in Sabetha's hail record.
This was Sabetha's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 17 days after the May 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sabetha at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sabetha: the same system put hail over 241 other tracked cities, 57 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Morrill (6 miles southeast, up to 1"); Dawson (10 miles north, up to 1.75"); Bern (11 miles west, up to 1.75").

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.
For this storm over Sabetha, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Sabetha roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

Potential roof exposure
$1.3M
Potential roof exposure — 109 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 109 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
