Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lordsburg saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lordsburg, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 11, 2026 sits in Lordsburg's hail record.
This was Lordsburg's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Aug 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lordsburg at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lordsburg: the same system put hail over 1,041 other tracked cities, 2 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Pearce (62 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Elfrida (77 miles southwest, up to 1"); Mc Neal (81 miles southwest, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Lordsburg 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Lordsburg 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.
