How Paxton saw the hail — from two instruments
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
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
1.25"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Paxton, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Paxton's hail record
This was Paxton's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Paxton at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Paxton: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Ogallala (15 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Sutherland (15 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Keystone (24 miles northwest, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills from Paxton'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.

Reports came from Roscoe — beyond Paxton itself.
What 1.25" hail means for Paxton roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
