Evidence / storm surfaces
How Bronte saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 18, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Bronte, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 18, 2026 sits in Bronte's hail record.
This was Bronte's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Jun 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Bronte at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Bronte: the same system put hail over 221 other tracked cities, 67 of them in Texas. Nearest: Norton (12 miles east, up to 1.25"); Wingate (21 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Winters (29 miles northeast, up to 1.25").

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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Bronte. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Bronte 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$4.8M
Potential roof exposure — 399 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 399 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $84 on top of the $150 plan.
