How Amarillo saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

This was Amarillo's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Amarillo at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Amarillo: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Texas. Nearest: Canyon (14 miles south, up to 1"); Vega (26 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Claude (31 miles east, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills from Amarillo's Jul 1, 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Amarillo for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 1" hail means for Amarillo roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
