Evidence / storm surfaces
How South Haven saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Mar 5, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 5, 2026 sits in South Haven's hail record.
This was South Haven's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 17th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over South Haven at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than South Haven: the same system put hail over 343 other tracked cities, 110 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Caldwell (17 miles west, up to 1.75"); Deer Creek (18 miles southwest, up to 0"); Wellington (21 miles north, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 South Haven 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.
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over South Haven. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for South Haven roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
