Two ways to read the storm

How Wickett 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.

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wickett, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 16, 2026 sits in Wickett's hail record

This was Wickett's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 1 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wickett at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wickett: the same system put hail over 206 other tracked cities, 26 of them in Texas. Nearest: Monahans (6 miles east, up to 0.75"); Pyote (9 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Wink (18 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Wickett's Jul 16, 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 Wickett 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.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Wickett 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

$36K

Potential roof exposure — 3 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Wickett hail history

1 recorded storm day in Wickett, TX

← All hail in Wickett
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 1, 2026.
