Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lockney 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 25, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lockney, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Apr 25, 2026 sits in Lockney's hail record.
This was Lockney's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 11th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lockney at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 25, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lockney: the same system put hail over 392 other tracked cities, 49 of them in Texas. Nearest: Holliday (152 miles east, up to 3.5"); Iowa Park (155 miles east, up to 1.75"); Wichita Falls (167 miles east, up to 3.5").

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 Lockney. 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 Lockney 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$84K
Potential roof exposure — 7 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
April 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
