Evidence / storm surfaces
How Faith saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 30, 2026 · Faith, SD
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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 30, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Faith, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 30, 2026 sits in Faith's hail record.
This was Faith's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Aug 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Faith at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Faith: the same system put hail over 117 other tracked cities, 11 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Meadow (31 miles north, up to 0.5"); Watauga (65 miles north, up to 1"); Mc Intosh (72 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Faith 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
1 report 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Faith 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 Aug 31, 2026.
