Evidence / storm surfaces
How Tekamah saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Jul 2, 2026 sits in Tekamah's hail record.
This was Tekamah's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 19 days after the Jun 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 11th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Tekamah at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Tekamah: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 110 of them in Nebraska. Nearest: Decatur (15 miles north, up to 1"); Onawa (15 miles north, up to 1"); Lyons (17 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Tekamah 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Tekamah 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 Tekamah 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.
