Two ways to read the storm

How Quitman 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.

NEXRAD radar signatures
NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Quitman, TX on Apr 24, 2026

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

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.

The storm in context

Where Apr 24, 2026 sits in Quitman's hail record

This was Quitman's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 40 days after the Mar 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Quitman at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Apr 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Quitman: the same system put hail over 345 other tracked cities, 87 of them in Texas. Nearest: Mineola (15 miles southwest, up to 1"); Alba (18 miles west, up to 1.75"); Leesburg (20 miles northeast, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills from Quitman's Apr 24, 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.

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Quitman. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Quitman 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 Quitman

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.
