How San Angelo saw the hail — from two instruments

May 19, 2026 · San Angelo, TX

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-estimated hail-size map of the storm over San Angelo, TX on May 19, 2026 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.

Max size 1.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over San Angelo, so there is one map to show, not two.

Reports came from Miles — beyond San Angelo itself.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1.25" hail means for San Angelo 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.

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 Aug 2, 2026.
