Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kingfisher 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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jan 7, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jan 7, 2026 sits in Kingfisher's hail record.
This was Kingfisher's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 15th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kingfisher at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jan 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kingfisher: the same system put hail over 10 other tracked cities, 7 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Hennessey (19 miles northwest, up to 0"); Douglas (28 miles northeast, up to 1"); Minco (38 miles south, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 Kingfisher 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.
For this storm over Kingfisher, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Kingfisher 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.
