Hail in Ashby · Jun 22, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Ashby that day. At 2.75" — 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 Ashby saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 22, 2026 · Ashby, NE
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
Estimated size field 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.
Max size
2.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ashby, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Ashby's hail record.
This was Ashby's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ashby at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ashby: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 23 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Ellsworth (16 miles northwest, up to 3.25"); Lakeside (25 miles northwest, up to 3.25"); Arthur (33 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 6 Ashby 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 2.75" hail means for Ashby 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 Aug 25, 2026.
