Pecos, TX Hail Storm – June 2026

Pecos, Texas experienced a severe hail-producing thunderstorm on June 11, 2026, with peak hail stones measured at 2.18 inches in diameter. The event moved through the Pecos metro during the late afternoon and concluded in the early evening.

What Happened

NWS issued one severe thunderstorm warning on June 11 at 5:44 PM CDT for 1-inch hail inside the warning area. The warning covered the Pecos metro and adjacent county roads. Dual-polarization radar later detected stronger hail echoes embedded within the warned cell. The system tracked generally eastward through Pecos during the late-afternoon to early-evening period. Storm reports recorded by local monitoring systems indicate the event has concluded.

Radar-derived signatures produced hail echo cores that persisted for multiple volume scans. The NWS warning was the only public alert tied to this storm. Ground spotter reports were not included in the public warning feed for this event.

Damage Assessment

Stones of this diameter are large enough to dent vehicle body panels, puncture thin metal, and cause substantial loss of asphalt shingles where roofing is aged or already compromised. Broken skylights and cracked glass are possible on exposed structures. Exterior vinyl siding may show impact fractures and abrasion.

Within the Pecos city limits and nearby rural parcels, expect the highest exposure for parked vehicles, rooftop-mounted equipment, and unshielded windows. Signs of impact that warrant closer inspection include granular loss on shingles, concentrated dents on vehicle hoods and roofs, and localized holes in metal roofing panels.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize rapid visual roof assessments followed by targeted sample removals on suspect areas. Photograph all findings with date and time metadata and note the street address or GPS coordinate. Start with the most vulnerable materials: asphalt shingle fields, edge flashings, HVAC condenser fins, and skylight glazing. Documenting before any temporary repairs supports claims and scope decisions.

Limit initial invasive work until property owners and insurers establish coverage intent. Where immediate protection is required, install temporary tarping only after photographic documentation. Prepare for a mix of repair and full-replacement orders depending on shingle age and material. Coordinate crews for staged access in the Pecos metro to avoid duplicate inspections and to streamline work in concentrated impact zones.
