Evidence / storm surfaces
How Slaton saw the hail — from two instruments
Sep 19, 2026 · Slaton, TX
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-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Slaton, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 19, 2026 sits in Slaton's hail record.
This was Slaton's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Sep 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Slaton at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Slaton: the same system put hail over 336 other tracked cities, 24 of them in Texas. Nearest: Lubbock (16 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Idalou (25 miles north, up to 0.75"); Meadow (41 miles west, up to 0.75").

What people on the ground reported
1 report filed with the NWS
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.
Wind reports
1 reportBelow the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Slaton roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 Sep 20, 2026.
