Evidence / storm surfaces
How Grand Prairie 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Grand Prairie, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 24, 2026 sits in Grand Prairie's hail record.
This was Grand Prairie's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 25 days after the Apr 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Grand Prairie at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Grand Prairie: the same system put hail over 200 other tracked cities, 76 of them in Texas. Nearest: Irving (10 miles north, up to 0.75"); Cedar Hill (10 miles south, up to 0.5"); Arlington (12 miles west, up to 0.75").

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 Grand Prairie. 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 Grand Prairie 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$351M
Potential roof exposure — 29,220 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 146 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$2.2M
Close just 0.5% of the 29,220 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
