Hail in Milnesand · May 21, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Milnesand that day. At 2.75" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Milnesand saw the hail — from two instruments
May 21, 2026 · Milnesand, NM
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
2.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Milnesand, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 21, 2026 sits in Milnesand's hail record.
This was Milnesand's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 1 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Milnesand at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Milnesand: the same system put hail over 120 other tracked cities, 3 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Tatum (31 miles south, up to 1.25"); Plains (37 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Clovis (46 miles north, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Milnesand storm date 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.

Severe hail signal
What 2.75" hail means for Milnesand roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 Aug 2, 2026.
