Seguin, TX Hail Storm – November 2025

What Happened

A severe hail storm moved through Seguin, Texas, on Nov. 1, 2025, producing a peak hail size of 1.75 inches in the late evening period. The storm generated three NWS alerts between 5:23 PM CDT and 6:59 PM CDT, with radar and spotter verification on each one.

The first alert came at 5:23 PM CDT with 1-inch hail in the Seguin area. A local storm report at 5:26 PM CDT noted social media photos showing numerous hailstones in Seguin, with the location estimate tied to doppler radar. A second alert followed at 6:00 PM CDT, also carrying a 1-inch hail threat and the same radar plus spotter confidence.

By 6:25 PM CDT, observers in Leesville reported accumulating small hail up to nickel size. Another report at 6:58 PM CDT described hail ranging from pea to nickel size in Leesville. The final alert arrived at 6:59 PM CDT with 1.75-inch hail and radar plus spotter verified confidence. A later storm report at 8:10 PM CDT said most hail was below 1 inch, but a few of the biggest stones reached around golf ball size, with timing estimated by radar.

Damage Assessment

The field reports point to a storm with a mixed hail footprint across the Seguin area and nearby Leesville. Hail size varied from nickel size in the smaller reports to golf ball size in the strongest report, with the larger stones appearing in the later phase of the event. That pattern matches the warning sequence, which escalated from 1-inch hail to 1.75-inch hail as the storm matured.

The Seguin report at 5:26 PM CDT indicates numerous hailstones reached the ground early in the event, before the peak size was reached. The Leesville reports show a broad zone of smaller stones still falling during the evening, including accumulating hail up to nickel size at 6:25 PM CDT and pea to nickel size at 6:58 PM CDT. The 8:10 PM CDT report adds a separate observation of mostly sub-inch hail with several larger stones near golf ball size, which suggests localized bursts of larger hail within the broader storm path.

For surface impact, the reports support repeated hailfall over the same general corridor rather than a single isolated burst. The combination of social media photos, spotter-verified observations, and radar-timed reports gives a clearer picture of hail reaching the ground in multiple parts of the warning area. In Seguin, the early report supports visible accumulation and widespread hailstone presence. In Leesville, the later reports show continuing hail with smaller sizes still reaching the surface after the first round.

No tree-fall or structural damage was included in the field reports provided here. The evidence in this event centers on hail size, timing, and ground reports rather than broader wind damage.

What Contractors Should Know

Crews working Seguin and the surrounding corridor should treat Nov. 1 as a multiple-pass hail event, not a single isolated core. The report sequence shows early hail in Seguin, then later hail in Leesville, then a late report with a few larger stones. That spread can produce uneven roof and vehicle impacts across a short drive.
