Evidence / storm surfaces
How Raymondville 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Raymondville, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 21, 2026 sits in Raymondville's hail record.
This was Raymondville's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 20 days after the Aug 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Raymondville at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Raymondville: the same system put hail over 659 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Texas. Nearest: Lyford (14 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Rio Hondo (17 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Bishop (76 miles north, up to 4").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 Raymondville 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 Raymondville 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Raymondville 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.
Potential roof exposure
$96K
Potential roof exposure — 8 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $2 on top of the $150 plan.
