Evidence / storm surfaces
How Muleshoe 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.
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.
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.
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 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$1.3M
Potential roof exposure — 105 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 105 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
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 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 $22 on top of the $150 plan.
