Evidence / storm surfaces
How El Paso saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
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.
The storm in context
Where May 10, 2026 sits in El Paso's hail record.
This was El Paso's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over El Paso at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than El Paso: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Edgewood (218 miles north, up to 1.25"); Stanley (228 miles north, up to 1.25"); Lamesa (244 miles east, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 El Paso 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 El Paso 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for El Paso 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.
