How Murdo saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 4, 2026 · Murdo, 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.

The storm in context

Where Jun 4, 2026 sits in Murdo's hail record.

This was Murdo's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Murdo at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jun 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Murdo: the same system put hail over 241 other tracked cities, 80 of them in South Dakota. Nearest: Draper (13 miles east, up to 1"); Vivian (23 miles east, up to 1.75"); White River (24 miles south, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Murdo 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.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Murdo roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 25, 2026.
