Evidence / storm surfaces

How Alpine saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 19, 2026 · Alpine, TX

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 Alpine, TX on Jul 19, 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 Jul 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Alpine, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 19, 2026 sits in Alpine's hail record.

This was Alpine's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Alpine at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Alpine: the same system put hail over 351 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Texas. Nearest: Barstow (91 miles north, up to 0.5"); Pyote (95 miles north, up to 0.5"); Colorado City (220 miles northeast, up to 0.75").

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

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 Alpine, 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 Alpine 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.

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 30, 2026.
