Evidence / storm surfaces

How Gabbs saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 13, 2026 · Gabbs, NV

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 map of the storm over Gabbs, NV on Aug 13, 2026 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 0.75"

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").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 1 Gabbs 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.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

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 14, 2026.
