Evidence / storm surfaces
How Yates Center saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jun 25, 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 Jun 25, 2026 sits in Yates Center's hail record.
This was Yates Center's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Yates Center at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Yates Center: the same system put hail over 395 other tracked cities, 95 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Iola (15 miles southeast, up to 0"); Hamilton (20 miles west, up to 0.5"); Toronto (24 miles southwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Yates Center 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Yates Center. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Yates Center 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.
