Evidence / storm surfaces
How Wishek 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 Jul 30, 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 Jul 30, 2026 sits in Wishek's hail record.
This was Wishek's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Jul 19, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wishek at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wishek: the same system put hail over 432 other tracked cities, 52 of them in North Dakota. Nearest: Lehr (24 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Forbes (46 miles east, up to 1.25"); Mc Laughlin (59 miles southwest, up to 0.5").

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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Wishek for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Wishek 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.
