Clarendon, TX Hail Storm – June 2026

A severe hail storm tracked through Clarendon, Texas on June 1, 2026, producing 2.87-inch stones and a sequence of radar-detected hail cores in the late afternoon and early evening. The storm moved over rural areas north and west of Stinnett before weakening after 7:30 PM CDT.

What Happened

NWS alerts for this storm began in the late afternoon and continued into the early evening, with four separate hail alerts issued between 5:07 PM CDT and 7:24 PM CDT. Dual-polarization radar detected hail cores at 5:07 PM and again at 5:46 PM, and a spotter report was logged at 6:44 PM. The final radar hail detection occurred at 7:24 PM CDT. Field observers provided on-scene detail during the event: a public report at Grandview RV Park west of Stinnett estimated ping-pong sized hail at 5:48 PM CDT, spotters five miles north of Stinnett reported golf-ball sized hail around 6:20 PM CDT, and an observer at the intersection of TX Highways 136 and 207 described mostly pea- to quarter-size hail with occasional larger stones at 6:24 PM CDT. Radar-derived hail signatures tracked along a generally northeastward path through Clarendon metro areas before the storm weakened.

Damage Assessment

Surface impacts concentrated north and west of Stinnett along Highway 207 and at Grandview RV Park. Spotter observations recorded concentrated larger stones near rural stretches five miles north of Stinnett and at the RV park west of town. The intersection of TX-136 and TX-207 saw predominantly smaller hail with intermittent quarter-size stones. Public and observer notes do not list widespread structural collapse or roof failures for this event. Reported impacts are specific to the locations named in the local storm reports and correspond with radar-derived hail swaths crossing those corridors. Roadside exposures and unshielded park units were the most frequently cited locations where hail contacted external surfaces during the peak of the storm.

What Contractors Should Know

Inspect RV exteriors and parked vehicles at Grandview RV Park first. Field reports place the largest observed surface impacts there and along Highway 207. Look for denting on aluminum siding, RV awnings, and unsecured metal trim. Photograph and log damage locations with GPS coordinates where possible.

Check farm equipment and exposed vehicles along the stretch five miles north of Stinnett and near the TX-136/TX-207 intersection. Observers reported golf-ball and ping-pong sized stones in those areas. Focus on glass, vents, and painted surfaces. Small, concentrated impact clusters are likely where hail fell through tree cover or along fence lines.

Prioritize tarp work and temporary sealing on any damaged RV roofs or vehicle panels that show punctures or cracking. Note the storm timing in late afternoon to early evening when documenting claim timelines. Coordinate lane closures and traffic control measures before working on shoulders of TX-207 and TX-136.
