Hail in Rocksprings Mar 10, 2026
The radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 3.5" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Rocksprings this day. At 3.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Rocksprings 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.
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Rocksprings, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Rocksprings's hail record
This was Rocksprings's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Rocksprings at 3.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Rocksprings: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 88 of them in Texas. Nearest: Barksdale (18 miles east, up to 0.75"); Camp Wood (19 miles east, up to 2.75"); Brackettville (28 miles south, up to 2.75").
These maps are stills from Rocksprings's Mar 10, 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 was reported over 45 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Camp Wood, Rio Frio, and Leakey — beyond Rocksprings itself.
What 3.5" hail means for Rocksprings roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

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 3, 2026.
