How Turpin saw the hail — from two instruments

May 21, 2026 · Turpin, OK

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 Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Turpin, OK on May 21, 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 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Turpin, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where May 21, 2026 sits in Turpin's hail record.

This was Turpin's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 42 days after the Apr 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Turpin at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Turpin: the same system put hail over 120 other tracked cities, 5 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Tyrone (7 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Liberal (15 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Hooker (15 miles southwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Turpin 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

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.

For this storm over Turpin, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Turpin roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Potential roof exposure — 42 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Claim window

May 2028

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

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 27, 2026.
