How Victoria saw the hail — from two instruments
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.

Radar-estimated hail size
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.

Where Jul 9, 2026 sits in Victoria's hail record
This was Victoria's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 30 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Victoria at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Victoria: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 120 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Hays (11 miles northwest, up to 1"); Ellis (22 miles west, up to 1.75"); Mc Cracken (23 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Victoria's Jul 9, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.

What 0" hail means for Victoria roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
