Evidence / storm surfaces
How Mason saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Mason, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Mason's hail record.
This was Mason's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 12th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Mason at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Mason: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 88 of them in Texas. Nearest: Art (14 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); London (21 miles west, up to 0.75"); Cherokee (29 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Mason 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.
For this storm over Mason, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Mason 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$12K
Potential roof exposure — 1 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
