Two ways to read the storm

How Silverton 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.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for May 28, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where May 28, 2026 sits in Silverton's hail record

This was Silverton's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the May 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Silverton at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Silverton: the same system put hail over 198 other tracked cities, 31 of them in Texas. Nearest: Clarendon (28 miles northeast, up to 0"); Seymour (125 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Haskell (128 miles southeast, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills from Silverton's May 28, 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 Silverton. 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Silverton roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$96K

Other storms in Silverton

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.
