Two ways to read the storm

How Crowell saw the hail — from two instruments

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.

Radar-estimated hail size

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.

Where May 8, 2026 sits in Crowell's hail record

This was Crowell's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 24 days after the Apr 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Crowell at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Crowell: the same system put hail over 378 other tracked cities, 85 of them in Texas. Nearest: Chillicothe (24 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Seymour (24 miles southeast, up to 2.5"); Quanah (28 miles north, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills from Crowell's May 8, 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.

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Crowell for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Below the severe threshold

What 0" hail means for Crowell roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

Other storms in Crowell

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
