Hail in Uvalde · Mar 10, 2026

The estimated-size surface reached 3.25" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Uvalde that day. At 3.25" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

How Uvalde saw the hail — from two instruments

Mar 10, 2026 · Uvalde, TX

We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Uvalde, TX on Mar 10, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 3.25"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Uvalde, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Uvalde's hail record.

This was Uvalde's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Mar 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Uvalde at 3.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Uvalde: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 88 of them in Texas. Nearest: Concan (6 miles east, up to 3.25"); Camp Wood (7 miles north, up to 2.75"); Leakey (18 miles northeast, up to 3.5").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Uvalde 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.

Storm forensics

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

The storm tracked east at roughly 35 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.

Hail was reported over 32 minutes, from to .

Reports came from Camp Wood, Rio Frio, and Montell — beyond Uvalde itself.

Severe hail signal

What 3.25" hail means for Uvalde roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

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 Aug 28, 2026.
