Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cuero saw the hail — from two instruments
Feb 14, 2026 · Cuero, 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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
1.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Feb 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cuero, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Feb 14, 2026 sits in Cuero's hail record.
This was Cuero's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 36 days after the Jan 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cuero at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Feb 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cuero: the same system put hail over 21 other tracked cities, 20 of them in Texas. Nearest: Yoakum (6 miles east, up to 0.75"); Yorktown (21 miles south, up to 1.5"); Gillett (28 miles southwest, up to 1").

High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Cuero roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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.
