“Grapefruit sized hail reported. (EWX)”
— NOAA / SPC storm report
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.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Uvalde saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
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.
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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$18M
Potential roof exposure — 1,529 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 8 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$120K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,529 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $321 on top of the $150 plan.
