Mustang, OK Hail Storm – August 2025

What Happened

A severe hail storm moved through Mustang, Oklahoma, on August 11, 2025, producing 1.5-inch hail during a series of afternoon and early evening alerts. The storm produced 11 NWS alerts between 2:57 PM CDT and 6:11 PM CDT, with repeated radar and spotter confidence tied to the same hail-producing core.

The first verified 1.25-inch hail alert came at 2:57 PM CDT. Additional 1-inch hail alerts followed at 3:27 PM CDT and 3:31 PM CDT, with the 3:31 PM alert based on dual-polarization radar. The storm held together through late afternoon, with more 1-inch alerts at 4:12 PM CDT, 4:32 PM CDT, and 4:44 PM CDT.

At 4:26 PM CDT, a spotter report from mPING noted half-dollar hail at 1.25 inches. That report fit the broader hail pattern already being detected by radar and verified by observers across the warning area. A stronger pulse arrived at 4:50 PM CDT with another 1-inch alert, then the peak 1.5-inch hail alert came at 4:52 PM CDT. The storm remained active into the evening, with 1-inch alerts at 5:19 PM CDT and 6:00 PM CDT, followed by a final 1.25-inch alert at 6:11 PM CDT.

Damage Assessment

Field reports showed hail large enough to reach half-dollar size in Mustang during the afternoon core of the storm. The 4:26 PM CDT mPING report confirmed 1.25-inch stones, and multiple radar-derived alerts kept the hail signal active for more than three hours. The pattern points to a broad hail-producing storm with repeated hail bursts rather than a single brief drop.

The ground-truth report and the radar alerts align on a storm that delivered mixed hail sizes across the warning area. Some alerts stayed at 1 inch, while others reached 1.25 inches and 1.5 inches. That spread is consistent with a storm that pulsed over the same metro corridor several times during the afternoon.

For surface impacts, crews should expect scattered vehicle and roof claims where the strongest cores passed. The storm’s timing matters. The main hail window started before 3 PM CDT and continued into the early evening, which means exposure varied across multiple commute and work periods. Any exterior inspection in Mustang should account for repeated hail hits rather than a single pass.

The verified report at 4:26 PM CDT gives the clearest field-level confirmation in the event record. Combined with the 4:52 PM CDT 1.5-inch alert, it shows a storm capable of producing distinct pockets of larger hail within the larger warning area.

What Contractors Should Know

Mustang sat inside a storm environment that produced several hail bursts across the afternoon. For contractors, that means inspection routes should focus on the properties most exposed during the repeated hail window from mid-afternoon through early evening. Roof slopes, soft metals, and south-facing exposures are the first places to check when the hail size shifts between 1 inch and 1.5 inches.
