Evidence / storm surfaces
How Beaumont 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.
Estimated size field 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 25, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Beaumont, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 25, 2026 sits in Beaumont's hail record.
This was Beaumont's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 78 days after the Mar 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Beaumont at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Beaumont: the same system put hail over 156 other tracked cities, 69 of them in Texas. Nearest: Hemphill (81 miles north, up to 1"); Lufkin (88 miles north, up to 1"); Hornbeck (96 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Beaumont 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Beaumont 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Beaumont 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.
