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.
Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
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.
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 11th of the 11 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 (77 miles north, up to 0.5"); Pyote (82 miles north, up to 0.5"); Colorado City (213 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Alpine's Jul 19, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.
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.
What 0.5" hail means for Alpine roofs
Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.
