Hail in Selden · Jun 20, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Selden that day. At 2.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Selden saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 20, 2026 · Selden, 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
2.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Selden, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Selden's hail record.
This was Selden's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Selden at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Selden: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 121 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Oberlin (18 miles north, up to 3.5"); Hoxie (19 miles southeast, up to 2.75"); Gem (22 miles west, up to 2").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Selden 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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked southeast at roughly 10 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 63 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Seguin, Menlo, and Rexford — beyond Selden itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Selden 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
3,066 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$37M
Potential roof exposure — 3,066 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

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 Aug 26, 2026.
