Evidence / storm surfaces
How Las Vegas 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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
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.
The storm in context
Where Jul 31, 2026 sits in Las Vegas's hail record.
This was Las Vegas's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jul 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Las Vegas at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Las Vegas: the same system put hail over 238 other tracked cities, 23 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Rowe (28 miles west, up to 1"); Pecos (36 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Tererro (36 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Las Vegas. 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Las Vegas 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.
