Marysville, KS Hail Storm – August 2026

Marysville, Kansas saw a brief severe-hail event in the mid-morning hours of August 16, 2026. Peak hail reached 0.75 inch while the storm prompted a single NWS warning for the area.

What Happened

NWS issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Marysville area at 4:03 AM CDT on August 16, 2026. The warning cited hail up to 0.75 inch and covered the local warning area associated with the storm. The alert was NWS warning only, with no spotter verification included in the warning text. The warning duration covered the early-morning passage of a compact cell that moved through the Marysville metro.

Radar showed a single pulse of convection moving northeast across the town during mid-morning. The event was brief and localized. No additional NWS alerts were issued for this cell after the initial warning. No active watches or follow-up warnings were recorded for the Marysville metro during the same day.

Damage Assessment

Hail measured at 0.75 inch is below the size that typically causes structural failures. NWS issued a warning only; no spotter-verified damage was reported to the NWS during the event. Local emergency dispatch logs did not show increased calls explicitly tied to hail impacts in Marysville within the warning window.

Observed and likely effects at this size are primarily cosmetic. Expect paint dings and small dents to unprotected vehicle surfaces. Look for minor bruising to soft landscaping and possible scuffing of exposed outdoor furniture. Asphalt shingles can show localized granule loss or minor scuff marks, particularly on older or weathered roofing. Metal trim and flashing may show small dents where impacts were direct.

What Contractors Should Know

Begin fieldwork with a focused exterior inspection. Prioritize vehicles, exposed HVAC units, and roofing areas facing the storm track. Photograph all findings with a dated timestamp and include a small ruler or coin in images to show scale relative to the 0.75-inch hail. Note granule loss on shingles and check gutters and downspouts for hail accumulation that can mask roof damage.

Document condition before making repairs. For roofing, check for cracked or split shingles, dented metal flashings, and bruising consistent with 0.75-inch impacts. For siding and outdoor equipment, inspect for small dents and surface abrasions. Compile GPS-tagged photos and concise notes for any insurance submissions. If you recommend temporary measures, use removable fasteners and materials that do not introduce secondary damage.
