Evidence / storm surfaces

How Henrietta saw the hail — from two instruments

Apr 15, 2026 · Henrietta, TX

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 Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Henrietta, TX on Apr 15, 2026 Estimated size field

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.

Max size 1"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Henrietta, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Apr 15, 2026 sits in Henrietta's hail record.

This was Henrietta's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Apr 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Henrietta at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Apr 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Henrietta: the same system put hail over 425 other tracked cities, 47 of them in Texas. Nearest: Windthorst (22 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Scotland (23 miles west, up to 1"); Wichita Falls (24 miles northwest, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Henrietta 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

2 reports filed with the NWS

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.

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

Reports came from Lake Arrowhead and Jolly — beyond Henrietta itself.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Henrietta 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.

4,116 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$49M

Potential roof exposure — 4,116 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 4,116 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.

Claim window

April 2028

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 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 $864 on top of the $150 plan.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 11, 2026.
