Evidence / storm surfaces
How Amarillo saw the hail — from two instruments
May 22, 2026 · Amarillo, TX
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
1.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Amarillo, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 22, 2026 sits in Amarillo's hail record.
This was Amarillo's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 80 days after the Mar 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Amarillo at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Amarillo: the same system put hail over 417 other tracked cities, 224 of them in Texas. Nearest: Canyon (7 miles south, up to 1"); Wildorado (17 miles west, up to 1"); Boys Ranch (36 miles northwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Amarillo 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.

High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Amarillo roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 11, 2026.
