Downieville, CA experienced a short-lived hail event on May 3, 2026, with peak hail measured at 1.33 inches. The storm produced multiple radar-detected hail alerts and one NWS warning-only alert in the late afternoon.
The storm developed into a hail-producing cell in the late afternoon and concluded the same day. NWS products and radar returned four distinct alerts across the event: 2:34 PM PDT (21:34 UTC) — 1.00-inch hail detected by dual-polarization radar (NEXRAD); 3:09 PM PDT (22:09 UTC) — 0.75-inch hail within an NWS warning only alert; 4:16 PM PDT (23:16 UTC) — 1.00-inch radar-detected hail; 4:47 PM PDT (23:47 UTC) — 1.00-inch radar-detected hail. The storm track crossed the Downieville vicinity in a roughly southwest-to-northeast orientation in late afternoon to early evening. Radar detections provided repeated indications of hail cores; one field or measurement recorded a larger 1.33-inch sample during or immediately after the event.
Hail in the 0.75–1.33 inch range can dent vehicle panels, bruise or remove granules from asphalt shingles, and crack or chip single-pane windows where exposure is direct. Localized accumulations and repeated impacts increase risk to soft roofing materials and rooftop equipment that lack protective screening. No systematic, spotter-verified damage inventory is included on this page. Teams should prioritize exterior inspections for hail dents, shingle granule loss, and glass damage in locations that reported radar-detected cores.
Inspect roofs for granule loss, bruising, and fractured tabs. Start with a representative sample of structures along the radar-detected path and expand outward if damage is found. Use close-up photos with timestamps and GPS tags for every affected roof section and vehicle. Note roof age and prior condition in records to separate pre-existing wear from storm-caused damage.
Check vehicles, solar arrays, rooftop HVAC units, and exposed glass next. Measure and photograph hail impacts against a standardized scale. For insurance documentation, collect client statements, date-stamped imagery, and any retained hail specimens. Schedule temporary protections for roofing openings and prioritize permits or emergency repairs when water ingress is present.
