Hail in Weskan · Sep 19, 2026
Hit 2 days ago
The estimated-size surface reached 2.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Weskan 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.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Weskan saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 19, 2026 · Weskan, 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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Map image is still rendering for this surface.
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.

2.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Weskan, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Weskan's hail record.
This was Weskan's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 18 days after the Sep 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Weskan at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Weskan: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 90 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Sharon Springs (9 miles southeast, up to 2.5"); Arapahoe (13 miles west, up to 2"); Tribune (26 miles southeast, up to 2.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Weskan 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.

Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Weskan 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.

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.
