How Turon saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 19, 2026 · Turon, 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 map of the storm over Turon, KS on Sep 19, 2026 — 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 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Turon, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Turon's hail record.

This was Turon's 13th recorded hail day, arriving 36 days after the Aug 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Turon at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Turon: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 90 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Sylvia (11 miles north, up to 1"); Arlington (14 miles east, up to 0.75"); Stafford (15 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Turon 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Turon 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.

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 20, 2026.
