How Ozona 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.
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 Apr 28, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ozona, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Apr 28, 2026 sits in Ozona's hail record
This was Ozona's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 10 days after the Apr 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ozona at 1.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ozona: the same system put hail over 724 other tracked cities, 100 of them in Texas. Nearest: Breckenridge (244 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Woodson (245 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Strawn (249 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills from Ozona's Apr 28, 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.
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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Ozona for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
What 1.75" hail means for Ozona roofs
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.
