Evidence / storm surfaces
How Panhandle saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 10, 2026 · Panhandle, TX
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 Surface resolved
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Max size
1"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Panhandle, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 10, 2026 sits in Panhandle's hail record.
This was Panhandle's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 16 days after the Aug 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Panhandle at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Panhandle: the same system put hail over 94 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Texas. Nearest: Amarillo (18 miles southwest, up to 2.25"); Canyon (21 miles southwest, up to 2.25"); Happy (37 miles south, up to 2.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Panhandle 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Panhandle roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
215 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$2.6M
Potential roof exposure — 215 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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 11, 2026.
