Evidence / storm surfaces
How Miles saw the hail — from two instruments
May 19, 2026 · Miles, TX
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
1.25"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Miles, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 19, 2026 sits in Miles's hail record.
This was Miles's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the May 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Miles at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Miles: the same system put hail over 263 other tracked cities, 151 of them in Texas. Nearest: Rowena (12 miles east, up to 1.25"); Eola (14 miles south, up to 1"); San Angelo (16 miles southwest, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Miles 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.

What 1.25" hail means for Miles roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
1,648 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$20M
Potential roof exposure — 1,648 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
