How Las Vegas saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 10, 2026 · Las Vegas, NM

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.

NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.

The storm in context

Where Apr 10, 2026 sits in Las Vegas's hail record.

This was Las Vegas's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 4th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Las Vegas at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Las Vegas: the same system put hail over 79 other tracked cities, 8 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Garita (42 miles east, up to 2.25"); Vaughn (55 miles south, up to 1"); Logan (104 miles east, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 Las Vegas 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Las Vegas for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Las Vegas roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 14, 2026.
