Evidence / storm surfaces
How Scott City saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 21, 2026 · Scott City, KS
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Max size
1.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 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 21, 2026 sits in Scott City's hail record.
This was Scott City's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Scott City at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

Hail was reported over 32 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Scott State Lake — beyond Scott City itself.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Scott City 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.

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.
