Bellevue, TX Hail Storm – June 2026

A strong hail-producing storm tracked through Bellevue, Texas on June 6, 2026, producing 2.4-inch hail and a multi-hour sequence of warnings and radar detections. The storm moved from late afternoon into the early evening and produced spotter-verified quarter- to half-dollar impacts in nearby suburbs.

What Happened

NWS issued eight alerts for the storm between 2:29 PM CDT and 8:10 PM CDT. Early afternoon warnings began at 2:29 PM CDT for 0.75-inch hail, and repeated NWS warning-only messages continued through late afternoon. Dual-polarization radar detected hail signatures later in the period, with radar-derived reports at 4:11 PM CDT (0.95 inches), 5:04 PM CDT (1.04 inches), and 8:10 PM CDT (1.43 inches). The event culminated in a peak recorded hail measurement of 2.4 inches.

Spotter observations occurred in the early evening near the Bellevue metro area. At 8:23 PM CDT, an observer on Berkeley Dr in Glenn Heights posted a photograph showing half-dollar–size hail. At 8:25 PM CDT, a spotter reported quarter-size hail and minor limb damage near McCowan Park. At 8:35 PM CDT, a report noted quarter-size hail on I-35 in Red Oak. Those ground reports align with the later radar hail signatures and the series of NWS warnings that tracked the storm across the region.

Damage Assessment

Field reports show localized surface impacts concentrated in Glenn Heights, McCowan Park, and the Red Oak corridor along I-35. The Glenn Heights photograph documented half-dollar–size stones on Berkeley Dr. The McCowan Park report indicated quarter-size hail and minor tree limb damage. The Red Oak report described quarter-size hail on I-35.

There are no widespread severe structural failures reported in the ground-truth feeds. Observers reported surface and vegetation effects in yards, parks, and along the highway corridor. NWS warning-only alerts bracket the periods of stronger updrafts, while dual-polarization radar detections provide a coherent record of elevated hail signatures during the late-afternoon to early-evening window.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize inspections in Glenn Heights along Berkeley Dr, the McCowan Park area, and the Red Oak I-35 corridor. Expect isolated impact evidence on roofing shingles, gutters, and outdoor equipment where spotters photographed half-dollar–size hail or reported limb damage. Document condition with time-stamped photos and note the observer times listed in official reports when present on site.

For tree work near McCowan Park, plan for small limb removal and targeted pruning rather than large removals based on the spotter account of minor limb damage. On properties bordering I-35 in Red Oak, check vehicle panels and soft materials that may show hail pitting from quarter-size stones. Coordinate temporary tarping only where active leaks are observed and avoid broad, non-specific claim work until a site-level inspection confirms loss tied to these reported impacts.
