How Comanche saw the hail — from two instruments

May 10, 2026 · Comanche, TX

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.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where May 10, 2026 sits in Comanche's hail record.

This was Comanche's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Apr 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Comanche at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Comanche: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Mullin (11 miles south, up to 1.75"); Energy (15 miles east, up to 3"); Hamilton (18 miles southeast, up to 4").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Comanche 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.

Severe hail signal

What 2.5" hail means for Comanche 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 Aug 3, 2026.
