Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lockney 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 Apr 26, 2026 sits in Lockney's hail record.
This was Lockney's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Apr 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lockney at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lockney: the same system put hail over 710 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Texas. Nearest: Iowa Park (155 miles east, up to 3.75"); Burkburnett (157 miles east, up to 3.75"); Cordell (162 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Lockney 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Lockney 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.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Lockney 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.
