How Granger saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Granger, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where May 19, 2026 sits in Granger's hail record
This was Granger's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the May 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Granger at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Granger: the same system put hail over 263 other tracked cities, 151 of them in Texas. Nearest: Bartlett (9 miles northwest, up to 1"); Taylor (10 miles south, up to 1"); Jarrell (14 miles northwest, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills from Granger's May 19, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

What 1.25" hail means for Granger roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

Other storms in Granger
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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
