Severity
Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.
Largest radar-indicated size — a signal of damage potential, not confirmation.

Evidence / storm surfaces
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 signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
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.
The storm in context
This was Warsaw's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 17 days after the Mar 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Warsaw at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Warsaw: the same system put hail over 1,016 other tracked cities, 169 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Lowry City (24 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Osceola (24 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Stover (26 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Warsaw 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
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.
“An NWS survey concluded an EF0 tornado caused damage to a building on 83 and Highway MM southeast of Warsaw. This tornado is also reported to have damaged trees in the (SGF)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
“An NWS survey concluded an EF1 tornado touched down northwest of Warsaw... tracking at least as far east as highway 65. The tornado flipped several mobile homes resting (SGF)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
“A combination of NWS ground surveys and reanalysis of satellite data concluded that an EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds of 100 mph occurred east of Whitakervil (SGF)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
Storm forensics
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Whitakerville — beyond Warsaw itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
Potential roof exposure
$156K
Potential roof exposure — 13 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
April 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $3 on top of the $150 plan.
