Evidence / storm surfaces

How Gering saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 5, 2026 · Gering, NE

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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Gering, NE on Sep 5, 2026 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.

Max size 1.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 5, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Gering, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 5, 2026 sits in Gering's hail record.

This was Gering's 15th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Sep 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gering at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gering: the same system put hail over 514 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Bridgeport (19 miles east, up to 1.75"); Angora (33 miles east, up to 3"); Broadwater (34 miles east, up to 2.25").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Gering 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Gering. 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.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Gering roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 Sep 6, 2026.
