Evidence / storm surfaces
How Laguna saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Laguna, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Laguna's hail record.
This was Laguna's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 53 days after the Jul 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Laguna at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Laguna: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 16 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Casa Blanca (8 miles west, up to 1.25"); Pueblo Of Acoma (23 miles west, up to 0.5"); Bosque (45 miles southeast, up to 1.75").

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.
For this storm over Laguna, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Laguna roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
