Evidence / storm surfaces
How Del Rio saw the hail — from two instruments
Mar 10, 2026 · Del Rio, 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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
2.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Del Rio, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Del Rio's hail record.
This was Del Rio's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Mar 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Del Rio at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Del Rio: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 88 of them in Texas. Nearest: Rocksprings (30 miles northeast, up to 3.5"); Brackettville (41 miles east, up to 2.75"); Ozona (53 miles northwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Del Rio 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 2.75" hail means for Del Rio 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 2, 2026.
