Evidence / storm surfaces
How Crownpoint saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Crownpoint, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 20, 2026 sits in Crownpoint's hail record.
This was Crownpoint's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Crownpoint at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Crownpoint: the same system put hail over 553 other tracked cities, 26 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Grants (56 miles south, up to 0.5"); Aztec (72 miles north, up to 0.75"); Blanco (73 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Crownpoint 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
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 Crownpoint. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Crownpoint roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
