How El Reno saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 10, 2026 · El Reno, OK

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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over El Reno, OK on Mar 10, 2026 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.

Max size 1.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over El Reno, so there is one map to show, not two.

Storm forensics

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

The storm tracked east at roughly 25 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.

Hail was reported over 33 minutes, from to .

Reports came from Union City, Cogar, Minco, and Tuttle — beyond El Reno itself.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for El Reno roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 Sep 13, 2026.
