Evidence / storm surfaces
How Shamrock saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Shamrock's hail record.
This was Shamrock's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jun 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Shamrock at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Shamrock: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 33 of them in Texas. Nearest: Wellington (24 miles southeast, up to 1"); Miami (37 miles north, up to 1.75"); Willow (44 miles east, up to 1.75").

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 Shamrock 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 1.75" hail means for Shamrock 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.
