How Ozona saw the hail — from two instruments
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
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Ozona, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where May 21, 2026 sits in Ozona's hail record
This was Ozona's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the May 19, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ozona at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ozona: the same system put hail over 120 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Texas. Nearest: Sanderson (45 miles west, up to 1"); Iraan (52 miles north, up to 1.5"); Del Rio (53 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills from Ozona's May 21, 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.
Hail reports
1 reportWhat 1.5" 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.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$2.3M
Potential roof exposure — 189 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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
