Enid, OK Hail Storm – July 2026

Enid, Oklahoma experienced a concluded multi-zone hail event on July 11, 2026, producing peak hail up to 2.41 inches and several radar-detected hail cores across the metro.

What Happened

The event began in mid-afternoon and progressed into the early evening across the Enid metro. NWS messages and radar returns recorded a sequence of hail reports and detections tied to the same storm complex. Key alert timeline:

• July 11 · 3:46 PM CDT (20:46 UTC) – 0.75-inch hail reported in an NWS warning only.
• July 11 · 4:32 PM CDT (21:32 UTC) – 1.28-inch hail detected by dual-polarization radar (NEXRAD hail detection).
• July 11 · 6:14 PM CDT (23:14 UTC) – 1.75-inch hail detected by dual-polarization radar (NEXRAD hail detection).

Radar and follow-up data show multiple hail cores traversed the metro from mid-afternoon into early evening. The storm is concluded. The highest measured hail diameter in the multi-zone aggregate reached 2.41 inches in the Enid area.

Damage Assessment

Hail sizes recorded during the event covered a range that produces differing levels of impact across property types in Enid. The smaller cores logged at 0.75 inch typically cause cosmetic damage to soft surfaces and minor denting to vehicle paint. Radar-detected 1.28-inch cores commonly produce noticeable denting to vehicles and bruising or granule loss on asphalt shingles.

Cores measured at 1.75 inches and the observed peak hail in the metro increase the likelihood of broken skylights, cracked solar panels, and significant shingle fracture or loss on older or wind-worn roofs. Metal panels and vinyl siding may show punctures or splitting in exposed locations. Localized severe impacts are most likely along the radar-derived hail track where the largest hail diameters were observed.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize rapid exterior triage for properties on the recorded hail track. Inspect roofs for bruising, missing granules, cracked or split shingles, and compromised flashings. Check skylights, solar arrays, HVAC housings, soffits, gutters, and window glazing for fractures. Document all damage with geo-tagged photos and time-stamped notes before any temporary repairs. Temporary coverings and tarps should be deployed where interior exposure or active leaks are present.

Estimate repair scope by roof age and material. Asphalt shingles with visible granule loss or multiple fractured tabs often require replacement rather than patching. Metal roofs with penetrations or severe dents should be evaluated for structural fastener integrity. Coordinate measurements and damage logs with property owners and insurers before ordering materials. Use targeted mobilization to focus crews on addresses that align with the radar-detected hail cores.
