Hail in Lockney · Sep 10, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 3.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Lockney that day. At 3.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Lockney saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Lockney, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 10, 2026 sits in Lockney's hail record.
This was Lockney's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 41 days after the Jul 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Lockney at 3.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Lockney: the same system put hail over 94 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Texas. Nearest: Kress (11 miles north, up to 3.5"); Plainview (15 miles southwest, up to 1.75"); Edmonson (23 miles west, up to 0.5").

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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Aiken — beyond Lockney itself.
Severe hail signal
What 3.5" hail means for Lockney 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$2.4M
Potential roof exposure — 202 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 202 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.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $42 on top of the $150 plan.
