How Chadron saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Chadron, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Chadron's hail record
This was Chadron's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Jun 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Chadron at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Chadron: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Crawford (16 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Rushville (31 miles east, up to 0.75"); Hay Springs (35 miles southeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Chadron's Jun 21, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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 Chadron 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.
What 1.5" hail means for Chadron roofs
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.
