Evidence / storm surfaces
How Del Rio saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 22, 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 May 22, 2026 sits in Del Rio's hail record.
This was Del Rio's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the May 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Del Rio at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Del Rio: the same system put hail over 417 other tracked cities, 224 of them in Texas. Nearest: Rocksprings (30 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Ozona (53 miles northwest, up to 1.75"); Sonora (67 miles northeast, 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.
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 Del Rio 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Del Rio roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$684K
Potential roof exposure — 57 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $12 on top of the $150 plan.
