Evidence / storm surfaces
How Livingston 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.
Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 13, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 13, 2026 sits in Livingston's hail record.
This was Livingston's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jul 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Livingston at 0.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Livingston: the same system put hail over 92 other tracked cities, 15 of them in Texas. Nearest: Montgomery (52 miles west, up to 1.25"); Galveston (104 miles south, up to 0.5"); Alleyton (113 miles southwest, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 Livingston 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.
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 Livingston. 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 Livingston roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
