Evidence / storm surfaces
How Crownpoint saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 29, 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 29, 2026 sits in Crownpoint's hail record.
This was Crownpoint's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 28, 2026 storm. 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 29, 2026 convective day was bigger than Crownpoint: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 12 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Tohatchi (31 miles west, up to 0"); Newcomb (48 miles northwest, up to 0"); Cubero (68 miles south, up to 1.5").

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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Crownpoint. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
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.
