Evidence / storm surfaces
How Pecos saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where May 31, 2026 sits in Pecos's hail record.
This was Pecos's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the May 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pecos at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 31, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pecos: the same system put hail over 637 other tracked cities, 25 of them in Texas. Nearest: Coyanosa (7 miles south, up to 1"); Pyote (14 miles north, up to 1.75"); Wink (35 miles north, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Pecos 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Pecos 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.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Pecos 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
$456K
Potential roof exposure — 38 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
