Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dalhart 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 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Dalhart, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 23, 2026 sits in Dalhart's hail record.
This was Dalhart's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Sep 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dalhart at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Dalhart. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
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.
