How Rushville saw the hail — from two instruments

May 30, 2026 · Rushville, 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.

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

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.

The storm in context

Where May 30, 2026 sits in Rushville's hail record.

This was Rushville's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 12th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Rushville at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Rushville: the same system put hail over 541 other tracked cities, 102 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Hay Springs (7 miles south, up to 1"); Pine Ridge (12 miles northwest, up to 3.5"); Gordon (15 miles east, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Rushville 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Rushville for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Rushville roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

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.
