Hail in Levelland · Jun 23, 2026

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Levelland saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 23, 2026 · Levelland, 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
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
2.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Levelland, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 23, 2026 sits in Levelland's hail record.
This was Levelland's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Jun 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Levelland at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Levelland: the same system put hail over 330 other tracked cities, 75 of them in Texas. Nearest: Meadow (21 miles south, up to 2"); Sundown (22 miles southwest, up to 1.25"); Littlefield (24 miles north, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Levelland 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.

Reports came from Whitharral — beyond Levelland itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Levelland roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 16, 2026.
