Two ways to read the storm

How Van Horn saw the hail — from two instruments

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Van Horn, TX on Jun 14, 2026

The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Van Horn, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 14, 2026 sits in Van Horn's hail record

This was Van Horn's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Van Horn at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Van Horn: the same system put hail over 144 other tracked cities, 7 of them in Texas. Nearest: El Paso (98 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Santa Teresa (125 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Vado (130 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Van Horn's Jun 14, 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.

For this storm over Van Horn, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Van Horn roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$108K

Potential roof exposure — 9 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Van Horn

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.
