Type of damage

How urgent?

Hail risk in Tyler peaks during April, May, and June, when Gulf moisture is abundant and atmospheric instability supports organized convection. March and July also see elevated hail activity in Smith County. Spring supercells and squall lines moving through the region during these months are the primary hail-producing storm types.
