How Lawton saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 26, 2026 · Lawton, OK

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Lawton, OK on Sep 26, 2026 — Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

Max size 1"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lawton, so there is one map to show, not two.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Lawton 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.

2,007 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$24M

Potential roof exposure — 2,007 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Illustrative jobs: 10 jobs
Illustrative work: ~$150K

Close just 0.5% of the 2,007 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.

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 27, 2026.
