Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mimbres 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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 31, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 31, 2026 sits in Mimbres's hail record.
This was Mimbres's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jul 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mimbres at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mimbres: the same system put hail over 238 other tracked cities, 23 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Cliff (31 miles west, up to 1"); Deming (73 miles south, up to 1.25"); Las Cruces (90 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 6 Mimbres 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Mimbres 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Mimbres 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.
