Evidence / storm surfaces
How Scott City saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 20, 2026 · Scott City, KS
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 Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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
3.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Scott City, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Scott City's hail record.
This was Scott City's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Scott City at 3.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Scott City: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 121 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Marienthal (13 miles northwest, up to 3.5"); Healy (21 miles northeast, up to 2.25"); Dighton (22 miles east, up to 2.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 Scott City 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.

Severe hail signal
What 3.75" hail means for Scott City roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 15, 2026.
