Evidence / storm surfaces
How Veguita saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Veguita, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Veguita's hail record.
This was Veguita's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 53 days after the Jul 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Veguita at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Veguita: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 16 of them in New Mexico. Nearest: Bosque (6 miles west, up to 1.75"); Belen (9 miles east, up to 1.75"); La Joya (11 miles south, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 2 Veguita 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Veguita. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Veguita roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$12M
Potential roof exposure — 959 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 5 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$75K
Close just 0.5% of the 959 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 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 $201 on top of the $150 plan.
