Evidence / storm surfaces
How Claude saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 12, 2026 · Claude, 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
0.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Claude, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Claude's hail record.
This was Claude's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 69 days after the Jul 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Claude at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Claude: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 4 of them in Texas. Nearest: Hedley (41 miles east, up to 0.5"); Perryton (83 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Balko (114 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Claude 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
1 report filed with the NWS
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.
Wind reports
1 reportNear the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Claude roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

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 13, 2026.
