Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kimball saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 22, 2026 · Kimball, 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
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 Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Kimball, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Kimball's hail record.
This was Kimball's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the May 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kimball at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kimball: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 23 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Bushnell (5 miles west, up to 2"); Harrisburg (21 miles north, up to 1.75"); Padroni (23 miles southeast, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Kimball 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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked south at roughly 10 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 101 minutes, from to .
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Kimball 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.
