How Kennard 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.
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
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.
Where May 10, 2026 sits in Kennard's hail record
This was Kennard's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Apr 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kennard at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kennard: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Trinity (28 miles south, up to 1"); Huntsville (30 miles southwest, up to 2.75"); Corrigan (31 miles southeast, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Kennard's May 10, 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 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Kennard for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 0.5" hail means for Kennard 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.
