Evidence / storm surfaces

How North Platte saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 24, 2026 · North Platte, NE

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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over North Platte, NE on Jun 24, 2026 Estimated size field

Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

Max size 1.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over North Platte, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in North Platte's hail record.

This was North Platte's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 16 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 20 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over North Platte at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than North Platte: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 34 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Maxwell (9 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Hershey (13 miles west, up to 0.75"); Wellfleet (15 miles south, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 20 North Platte 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.

Hail was reported over 79 minutes, from to .

High damage potential

What 1.5" hail means for North Platte 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 2, 2026.
