Evidence / storm surfaces
How Navajo Dam 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 Sep 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Navajo Dam, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 22, 2026 sits in Navajo Dam's hail record.
This was Navajo Dam's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Sep 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Navajo Dam at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Navajo Dam: the same system put hail over 97 other tracked cities, 6 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Blanco (9 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Indian Wells (162 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Mountainair (174 miles southeast, up to 0.75").

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.
For this storm over Navajo Dam, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Navajo Dam 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.
