Round Rock hail storm history

Williamson County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag

Round Rock and Williamson County sit in central Texas where warm, moisture-laden air from the Gulf of Mexico regularly collides with drier air masses moving eastward from the high plains. This collision zone creates favorable conditions for hail-producing thunderstorms throughout the year, with particular intensity during spring months. The specific frequency and severity of hail events in this area are tracked through National Weather Service records and displayed in the statistics table above.

Check if your roof was damaged by recent hail

Type of damage

How urgent?

Round Rock's hail season peaks from April through June, when atmospheric instability is highest and afternoon convective storms develop most frequently. May is typically the most active month, as Gulf moisture reaches peak levels and afternoon heating triggers widespread storm development. Secondary activity occurs in March and July as transitional conditions persist on either side of the primary season.
