Evidence / storm surfaces
How Wildorado saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wildorado, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 23, 2026 sits in Wildorado's hail record.
This was Wildorado's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the May 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wildorado at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wildorado: the same system put hail over 330 other tracked cities, 75 of them in Texas. Nearest: Amarillo (17 miles east, up to 2.25"); Canyon (21 miles east, up to 1.5"); Boys Ranch (28 miles north, up to 2.25").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 16 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Bushland — beyond Wildorado itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Wildorado 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
$23M
Potential roof exposure — 1,945 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 10 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$150K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,945 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
June 2028
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $408 on top of the $150 plan.
