Evidence / storm surfaces
How Junction saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
The storm in context
Where May 10, 2026 sits in Junction's hail record.
This was Junction's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the May 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Junction at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Junction: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Mountain Home (26 miles southeast, up to 1"); London (30 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Sonora (30 miles west, up to 1").

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.
For this storm over Junction, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Junction 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.
