As of 11:15 AM, Wichita just hit 90° for the 43rd straight day, moving to 4th all-time and passing the 2011 streak. We would tie the 52-day record on Sep 13th and could break it on the 14th. Models are split on whether we'll make it. Should we chase the record or are you ready for cooler temps?

09/03/2026

On this date back in 1970, severe thunderstorms hammered Southeast Kansas with hail that reached epic diameters of 4 to nearly 6 inches. Coffeyville, Kansas was bombarded by a hailstone that measured 17.5 inches in circumference, 5.7 inches in diameter and weighed 1.67 pounds. It had been the largest hailstone on record in the United States until June 22, 2003, when Aurora, Nebraska was hammered by a specimen measuring 18.75 inches in circumference and 7 inches in diameter.

However, the Aurora event did not 'hail' as king of hailstones very long. On July 23, 2010, an even bigger hailstone 8 inches in diameter and weighing 1.94 pounds landed in Vivian, South Dakota

On this date last year, several supercell thunderstorms tracked south across the area, producing destructive hail. Gol...
