Evidence / storm surfaces
How Clifton saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Clifton, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 19, 2026 sits in Clifton's hail record.
This was Clifton's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 20 days after the Apr 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Clifton at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Clifton: the same system put hail over 263 other tracked cities, 151 of them in Texas. Nearest: Morgan (14 miles north, up to 1.25"); Meridian (18 miles west, up to 1.25"); Kopperl (22 miles north, up to 1").

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.
For this storm over Clifton, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Clifton roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$30M
Potential roof exposure — 2,476 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 12 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$180K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,476 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
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 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 $520 on top of the $150 plan.
