Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mescalero 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.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 2, 2026 sits in Mescalero's hail record.
This was Mescalero's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mescalero at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mescalero: the same system put hail over 635 other tracked cities, 19 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Capitan (21 miles north, up to 1"); Cloudcroft (22 miles south, up to 1.75"); La Luz (24 miles southwest, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Mescalero 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
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 Mescalero. 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.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Mescalero 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$384K
Potential roof exposure — 32 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $7 on top of the $150 plan.
