Hereford, TX Hail Storm – June 2025

Hereford, TX saw a concluded hail storm on June 2, 2025, with a peak confirmed hail size of 1.75 inches. The storm produced seven NWS alerts from early afternoon into late afternoon.

What Happened

The first alert came at 1:56 PM CDT with 1-inch hail detected by dual-polarization radar. Another alert followed at 2:28 PM CDT with 1.25-inch hail. The strongest confirmation arrived at 3:53 PM CDT, when 1.75-inch hail was radar and spotter verified.

Four more alerts followed during the late afternoon. At 4:03 PM CDT, 4:18 PM CDT, and 4:40 PM CDT, the hail threat remained at 1 inch with dual-polarization radar confidence. The final alert came at 4:53 PM CDT with 1.5-inch hail detected by dual-polarization radar.

The sequence shows a storm that cycled through multiple hail reports over a little under three hours. The largest verified hail size came in the middle of the event, then smaller but still severe hail signals continued into the evening hours.

Damage Assessment

Hail up to 1.75 inches can damage roofing, gutters, skylights, exterior trim, and soft metal finishes. Asphalt shingles can show bruising, granule loss, and lifted tabs. Metal surfaces often show dents. Vehicle damage is possible, especially on exposed lots and along open roads.

The smaller hail reports at 1 inch and 1.25 inches still support inspection work. They can leave scattered roof hits, screen damage, and cosmetic impacts that are easy to miss from the ground. The 1.5-inch alert near the end of the storm extends the inspection area beyond a single peak report.

For multi-zone storm reports like this one, the confirmed hail size does not always land in one narrow line. Contractors should expect mixed impact across nearby neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and the edges of the warning area.

What Contractors Should Know

Plan field checks around the full June 2 event window, not only the 3:53 PM CDT peak. The early 1-inch and 1.25-inch alerts, plus the later 1-inch and 1.5-inch reports, point to repeated hail exposure across the same storm path. Roofs with marginal age, prior granule loss, or prior repairs should move up the inspection list.

Focus first on asphalt roofing, ridge caps, vents, soft metals, and vehicle fleets parked in open lots. Document directional impacts, test for bruising, and compare elevations and slopes within the same property. Mixed hail sizes can produce uneven damage from one side of a structure to another. The 1.75-inch verified report is the strongest field indicator in this event, but the full alert chain matters for route planning and canvass priority.
