Evidence / storm surfaces
How Strawn 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 5, 2026 sits in Strawn's hail record.
This was Strawn's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 17 days after the Jun 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Strawn at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 5, 2026 convective day was bigger than Strawn: the same system put hail over 971 other tracked cities, 146 of them in Texas. Nearest: De Leon (21 miles south, up to 0"); Carbon (24 miles west, up to 0"); Rising Star (31 miles southwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 11 Strawn storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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 Strawn. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Strawn 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.
