Evidence / storm surfaces
How Alpine 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.
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
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.
The storm in context
Where Mar 30, 2026 sits in Alpine's hail record.
This was Alpine's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 10th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Alpine at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Alpine: the same system put hail over 313 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Texas. Nearest: Wolfforth (247 miles north, up to 1.25"); Lubbock (258 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Petersburg (275 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Alpine 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
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Alpine. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Alpine 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$156K
Potential roof exposure — 13 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $3 on top of the $150 plan.
