Evidence / storm surfaces
How Soldier saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 5, 2026 · Soldier, KS
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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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 Mar 5, 2026 sits in Soldier's hail record.
This was Soldier's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 14th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Soldier at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Soldier: the same system put hail over 343 other tracked cities, 110 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Goff (9 miles northeast, up to 1"); Havensville (9 miles southwest, up to 1"); Centralia (12 miles northwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Soldier 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.

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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Soldier roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained 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 19, 2026.
