Turpin, OK Hail Storm – June 2026

Turpin, OK — June 3, 2026. A multi-zone hail-producing storm concluded after late-afternoon into early-evening activity, with a peak 1.74-inch hail observation and multiple NWS warnings and radar detections.

What Happened

The event began in the late afternoon and produced multiple NWS alerts through early evening. Alerts issued for Turpin and surrounding zones recorded hail estimates and differing detection sources as follows:

• June 3 · 2:04 PM CDT — 1.55-inch hail — radar-detected via dual-polarization NEXRAD
• June 3 · 2:41 PM CDT — 1.00-inch hail — NWS warning only
• June 3 · 4:27 PM CDT — 2.00-inch hail — NWS warning only
• June 3 · 4:49 PM CDT — 0.75-inch hail — radar-detected via dual-polarization NEXRAD
• June 3 · 6:55 PM CDT — 1.00-inch hail — NWS warning only
• June 3 · 7:26 PM CDT — 0.75-inch hail — NWS warning only

Two alerts included dual-polarization radar detections. Several additional alerts relied on NWS warning estimates without radar confirmation. The sequence shows a late-afternoon intensification with continued cells into the early evening. The storm is concluded.

Damage Assessment

Observed hail sizes across the event ranged from 0.75 to 1.74 inches across Turpin and adjacent zones. Hail at or above roughly 1.5 inches can produce visible dents in automotive sheet metal and concentrated impact points on roofing materials. Hail near 1.0 inch commonly displaces or cracks softer exterior materials such as vinyl trim and unprotected skylights. At 0.75 inch, impacts are often limited to cosmetic damage on vegetation and minor pitting on exposed metal surfaces.

No field reports of widespread structural collapse or catastrophic failure are included in the alert sequence. Inspections in Turpin should prioritize roofs, vehicles, and exposed mechanical equipment in areas with the strongest radar detections and NWS warning overlap.

What Contractors Should Know

Begin with a safety-focused initial inspection. Photograph the date-stamped scene and document impact density, object scale, and roof aspect. Prioritize asphalt-shingle roofs for granule loss and shingle fractures, metal roofs for local dents and fastener compromise, and HVAC condensers for fin damage. Record each location with local time references tied to June 3, 2026 alerts to align observations with the storm timeline.

Estimate and secure temporary protections where water intrusion risk exists. Provide clients with a clear, itemized scope showing probable hail-related items versus pre-existing wear. Coordinate with adjusters using the alert times and radar-detected points to show where impact concentrations were reported. Schedule follow-up inspections within weeks to verify progressive deterioration.
