How Midland saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 9, 2026 · Midland, SD

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where Jun 9, 2026 sits in Midland's hail record.

This was Midland's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the May 30, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Midland at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Midland: the same system put hail over 646 other tracked cities, 67 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Philip (23 miles west, up to 1.75"); Fort Pierre (39 miles east, up to 1.5"); Wanblee (40 miles south, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Midland 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

No reports 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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Midland. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1.25" hail means for Midland 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.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

251 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$3M

Potential roof exposure — 251 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed 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 14, 2026.
