Two ways to read the storm

How Houston 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-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Houston, TX on Jun 19, 2026 — 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.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Houston, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 19, 2026 sits in Houston's hail record

This was Houston's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jun 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Houston at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Houston: the same system put hail over 339 other tracked cities, 85 of them in Texas. Nearest: Cypress (12 miles west, up to 0.5"); Humble (14 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Spring (21 miles north, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Houston's Jun 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.

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 Houston. 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Houston roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$28M

Potential roof exposure — 2,359 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Illustrative jobs

Illustrative work

~$180K

Close just 0.5% of the 2,359 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.

Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
