Arlington hail storm history
Tarrant County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Arlington sits in Tarrant County at the convergence of the Texas plains and the eastern edge of Tornado Alley, making it a corridor where supercell thunderstorms frequently develop and track northeast from the Llano Estacado. Hail events in this region are concentrated during spring months when atmospheric conditions favor the formation of severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail. Historical NOAA records document both frequent hail occurrence and significant damage-producing events in the Arlington area.
Check if your roof was damaged by recent hail
Hail activity in Arlington peaks during April, May, and June, with May seeing the highest frequency of large-diameter hail events. March and July represent secondary risk months when conditions can still support severe thunderstorm development. The pattern reflects the seasonal march of cold-air intrusions colliding with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, a dynamic that favors supercell formation across north-central Texas.
