How Dalhart saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 25, 2026 · Dalhart, TX

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.

The storm in context

Where Aug 25, 2026 sits in Dalhart's hail record.

This was Dalhart's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Aug 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dalhart at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dalhart: the same system put hail over 205 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Texas. Nearest: Texline (28 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Dumas (41 miles east, up to 1.25"); Boys Ranch (42 miles southeast, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Dalhart 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Dalhart 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 10, 2026.
