Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lampasas saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
The storm in context
Where May 10, 2026 sits in Lampasas's hail record.
This was Lampasas's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 22 days after the Apr 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lampasas at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lampasas: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Kempner (14 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Bertram (16 miles southeast, up to 1"); Lometa (16 miles northwest, 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Lampasas. 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.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Lampasas roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

- Illustrative jobs
- 16 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$240K
Close just 0.5% of the 3,141 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.
