How Overton 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.
Radar-estimated hail size
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 May 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Overton, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where May 22, 2026 sits in Overton's hail record
This was Overton's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 28 days after the Apr 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Overton at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Overton: the same system put hail over 417 other tracked cities, 224 of them in Texas. Nearest: Kilgore (9 miles east, up to 1.25"); Winona (15 miles northwest, up to 1"); Henderson (18 miles east, up to 1").
These maps are stills from Overton's May 22, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Reports came from New London and Henderson — beyond Overton itself.
What 1" hail means for Overton roofs
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

Other storms in Overton
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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
