Clarendon, TX Hail Storm – June 2026

Clarendon, TX experienced a brief severe thunderstorm on June 8, 2026, producing maximum hail up to 1.28 inches. The event moved through the area in the early evening and generated a radar-detected hail swath that prompted a single NWS severe thunderstorm warning.

What Happened

The thunderstorm moved across Clarendon in the early evening of June 8. The National Weather Service issued one severe thunderstorm warning at 6:08 PM CDT reporting radar-detected hail of 1.16 inches within the warning polygon. Dual-polarization radar indicated a concentrated hail swath through the local metro. The storm concluded without additional warnings after the initial alert.

Field reports and post-storm assessments mapped a maximum hail measurement of 1.28 inches within the impacted area. Radar-derived tracks show the most consistent radar returns along a narrow corridor through the town. No further warnings or watches remained active following the event.

Damage Assessment

Hail at this size is capable of producing visible denting on vehicles and bruising to asphalt roofing. Expect localized granule loss and surface abrasion on composite shingles along the radar-detected swath. Skylights, soft metals such as HVAC housings and soffit panels, and unprotected exterior trim are the most likely to show impact damage in Clarendon properties.

Damage patterns from this event are likely concentrated along a narrow track consistent with the radar hail swath observed in early evening. Look for clustered impacts on south- and southwest-facing surfaces where hail accumulation and wind drift were most likely during the brief storm pulse.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize exterior inspections for homes and commercial properties within the Clarendon swath. Document roof shingles for bruising, granule loss, and broken tabs with date-stamped photos and GPS coordinates. Photograph vehicle panels, skylights, HVAC units, gutters, and siding with a ruler or coin for scale. Note the orientation of damage patterns; clustered dents and repeated impact points help separate hail damage from general wear.

Assess roofs for compromised water-shedding features and check attic spaces for new light leaks or particulate ingress. For repairs, assemble scope items separating cosmetic metal dents from roofing membrane breaches. Provide clients with clear photographic evidence and recommended next steps for temporary protection and permanent repair. Consider prioritizing properties with visible soft-metal deformation or compromised skylights for immediate temporary covers.
