Two ways to read the storm

How Terrell saw the hail — from two instruments

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 over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Terrell, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where May 26, 2026 sits in Terrell's hail record

This was Terrell's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the May 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Terrell at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The May 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Terrell: the same system put hail over 259 other tracked cities, 139 of them in Texas. Nearest: Canton (23 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Eustace (30 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Mineola (41 miles east, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Terrell's May 26, 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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Terrell 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.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Terrell roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$696K

Potential roof exposure — 58 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Terrell

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.
