How Muleshoe saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 27, 2026 · Muleshoe, TX

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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Muleshoe, TX on Aug 27, 2026 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.

Max size 1.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 27, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Muleshoe, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 27, 2026 sits in Muleshoe's hail record.

This was Muleshoe's 11th recorded hail day, arriving 27 days after the Jul 31, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Muleshoe at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Muleshoe: the same system put hail over 365 other tracked cities, 79 of them in Texas. Nearest: Farwell (18 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Clovis (20 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Bovina (25 miles north, up to 1.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Muleshoe 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.

Reports came from Needmore — beyond Muleshoe itself.

High damage potential

What 1.75" hail means for Muleshoe 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.

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 28, 2026.
