Hail in Canyon · Sep 10, 2026
Hit 2 days ago
The estimated-size surface reached 2.25" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Canyon that day. At 2.25" — tennis ball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Canyon saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 10, 2026 · Canyon, 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.
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.
Max size
2.25"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Canyon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 10, 2026 sits in Canyon's hail record.
This was Canyon's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 21 days after the Aug 20, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Canyon at 2.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Canyon: the same system put hail over 94 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Texas. Nearest: Amarillo (7 miles north, up to 2.25"); Happy (18 miles south, up to 2.25"); Panhandle (21 miles northeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Canyon 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.

How the storm moved
Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Reports came from Lake Tanglewood, Timbercreek Canyo, and Timbercreek Canyon — beyond Canyon itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.25" hail means for Canyon roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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.
