Evidence / storm surfaces
How Ogallala saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ogallala, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 23, 2026 sits in Ogallala's hail record.
This was Ogallala's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ogallala at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ogallala: the same system put hail over 330 other tracked cities, 12 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Grant (5 miles west, up to 0.5"); Madrid (11 miles south, up to 0.75"); Keystone (18 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Ogallala 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
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 Ogallala. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Ogallala roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
