How Faith 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.

Where Jul 30, 2026 sits in Faith's hail record
This was Faith's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Faith at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Faith: the same system put hail over 432 other tracked cities, 20 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Union Center (44 miles southwest, up to 1.75"); Mc Intosh (70 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Newell (74 miles west, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Faith's Jul 30, 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.
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.
Wind reports
1 reportWhat 1" hail means for Faith 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.

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.
