Evidence / storm surfaces
How Gabbs 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 Aug 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Gabbs, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 13, 2026 sits in Gabbs's hail record.
This was Gabbs'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 Gabbs at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gabbs: the same system put hail over 437 other tracked cities, 10 of them in Nevada. Nearest: Hawthorne (48 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Wellington (76 miles west, up to 0.75"); Silver Springs (83 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

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 Gabbs 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 Gabbs 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.
