Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sedgwick saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Sedgwick, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Sedgwick's hail record.
This was Sedgwick's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Mar 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sedgwick at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sedgwick: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 68 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Valley Center (6 miles southeast, up to 1"); Newton (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Colwich (9 miles southwest, up to 1").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Sedgwick. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Sedgwick 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.
Potential roof exposure
$41M
Potential roof exposure — 3,397 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 17 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$255K
Close just 0.5% of the 3,397 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.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $713 on top of the $150 plan.
