Evidence / storm surfaces
How Follett 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 signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in Follett's hail record.
This was Follett's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 29 days after the May 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Follett at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Follett: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 9 of them in Texas. Nearest: Darrouzett (17 miles west, up to 2.25"); Laverne (21 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Booker (22 miles west, up to 3").

Hail was reported over 81 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Darrouzett and Lipscomb — beyond Follett itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Follett roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.
