Evidence / storm surfaces
How Geddes saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 7, 2026 · Geddes, SD
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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
0.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Geddes, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 7, 2026 sits in Geddes's hail record.
This was Geddes's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Sep 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Geddes at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than Geddes: the same system put hail over 163 other tracked cities, 19 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Lake Andes (8 miles east, up to 0.5"); Armour (14 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Fairfax (16 miles southwest, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 Geddes 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.

Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Geddes roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm 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 8, 2026.
