Huachuca City, AZ Hail Storm – June 2026

Huachuca City, AZ recorded hail on June 17, 2026, peaking at 1.22 inches as a concluded late-afternoon to early-evening convective event.

What Happened

The storm produced a three-alert sequence across Huachuca City. At 2:31 PM MST (21:31 UTC) dual-polarization radar detected 1.08-inch hail. An NWS warning issued at 4:56 PM MST (23:56 UTC) reported 1.00-inch hail within the larger warning area. Dual-polarization radar again detected 1.07-inch hail at 6:15 PM MST (01:15 UTC). Radar-derived returns and the NWS warning area define the storm footprint for this multi-zone aggregate report. The system concluded in the early evening local time.

Damage Assessment

Hail reached a maximum diameter of 1.22 inches within the radar-detected hail swath. At this size, expect cosmetic to moderate damage along the swath through Huachuca City. Vehicle panels and exterior trim are prone to dents and paint break. Asphalt composition shingles may show bruising, granule loss, and edge lifting on exposed slopes. Exposed rooftop equipment, soft-surface solar coverings, and outdoor furniture are likely to show impact marks. Landscaped plants and unprotected glass can sustain pitting and surface etching.

Inspect properties located inside the NWS warning area first, concentrating on vehicles parked outdoors and south- and west-facing roof planes. If you perform a visual survey from ground level, document dents, missing granules, and punctures with geotagged photographs and time stamps. Note the locations relative to the NWS warning area and the radar-detected hail swath for claims and repair planning.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize roof and solar array assessments for addresses inside the NWS warning area and the radar-detected swath. Start with a drive-by inspection to identify obvious vehicle and rooftop impacts, then proceed to safe, documented rooftop inspections where access protocols and fall protection allow. Look for granular loss in gutters, split or cracked flashings, and concentrated damage on windward exposures. For photovoltaic systems, check microinverter housings, module glass, and mounting hardware for impact cracking and frame deformation.

Document all findings in a structured report with date, time, GPS coordinates, and high-resolution photos. Flag locations that require temporary tarps or immediate mechanical repairs. Provide clients with cost estimates that separate cosmetic bodywork from structural shingle replacement and solar module repairs. Maintain safety protocols for heat and debris when working in the field during post-storm surveys.
