Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 49 hail signatures up to 2.25", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.5" aloft. At 2.25" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

2 hailOverview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.
Largest hailstone — the top predictor of roof damage.
How many homes sit inside the storm's footprint.
Independent storm reports filed with the NWS.
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
This was Clarendon's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Clarendon at 2.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Mar 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Clarendon: the same system put hail over 313 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Texas. Nearest: Hedley (17 miles east, up to 2.75"); Memphis (29 miles east, up to 2.5"); Mclean (35 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Clarendon's Mar 30, 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.
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.
“In all it was reported to hail close to 1 1/2 hours with up to 1 inch hail about half of that time. Damage to skylights was reported. The hail ranged from dime to quart (AMA)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
“Nickle to quarter size accumulating hail. Lasted at least 15 minutes. (AMA)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
Reports came from Hedley — beyond Clarendon itself.
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
