Evidence / storm surfaces
How Brazoria saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 22, 2026 · Brazoria, TX
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.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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 Surface resolved
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.

The storm in context
Where Jul 22, 2026 sits in Brazoria's hail record.
This was Brazoria's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 8 days after the Jul 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Brazoria at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Brazoria: the same system put hail over 158 other tracked cities, 43 of them in Texas. Nearest: Angleton (20 miles northeast, up to 1"); Freeport (24 miles northeast, up to 1"); Galveston (31 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Brazoria 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.

Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Brazoria 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 Aug 3, 2026.
