Evidence / storm surfaces
How Wichita saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 13, 2026 · Wichita, 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 Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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 Jun 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wichita, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 13, 2026 sits in Wichita's hail record.
This was Wichita's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Jun 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 20 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wichita at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wichita: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 167 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Peck (9 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Douglass (13 miles southeast, up to 1.25"); Clearwater (13 miles southwest, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 20 Wichita 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 Wichita 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 Aug 27, 2026.
