Seventeen days of inch-plus hail since 2015, golf balls near NE Mall two days after Christmas, and two events already in 2026. Watauga and Richland Hills share the ring.

The heaviest day was May 27, 2024 — a forty-minute barrage that put quarters and half-dollars on North Richland Hills itself, a measured two-inch stone near Davis Boulevard on the Keller seam, golf balls on Hurst, a hen egg on Bedford and a 2.75-inch baseball southeast of Hurst. The calendar runs wide: golf balls near NE Mall on December 27, 2015 — one of only four December hail days in the core counties since 2015 — and an August golf-ball day in 2021. And 2026 is already on the board twice: quarters after midnight on April 26 and again at 3:52 PM on May 25. We’re 30–35 minutes away via SH 26 and FM 2499, or zero: free pickup and loaner delivery across 76180 and 76182. Published pricing (light hail $750–$1,500, typical full-vehicle claim $2,500–$8,000), direct billing, and the first $1,000 of the deductible covered on qualifying hail claims. - The forecasters’ backyard: the NWS Fort Worth office is in this ring — several entries were logged from its own parking lot, timestamps to the minute. - Two 2026 events already: the April outbreak’s after-midnight round (April 26, 12:39–12:56 AM) and a May 25 quarter round at the city’s center. - The heavy day: May 27, 2024 — forty minutes, a measured 2.00″ near Davis Blvd, and a 2.75″ baseball southeast of Hurst. - The calendar runs wide: a December entry (NE Mall, 2015) and an August entry (2021) bracket the normal season. 17 days 1″+ Hail Since 2015 2.75″ Baseball — May 27, 2024 4.9★ 500+ Google Reviews 2 in ’26 April 26 & May 25 This Year On this page The Forecasters' Backyard 2026 So Far NRH's Hail Record Cost Insurance Claims Tents vs. Shops Before & After Getting Here FAQ Areas Map Best Witnesses In Texas ## THE FORECASTERS’ BACKYARD Every city page we publish leans on the National Weather Service’s storm-report log. North Richland Hills is the one place where the log leans back: the NWS Fort Worth forecast office — the building where every DFW storm report is received and archived — sits inside this ring, on the Haltom City side. So the record here includes entries no other table has: quarter-size hail “at the NWS office” at 1:28 AM in April 2017; an official “1.5 inch hail at NWS office in Fort Worth” at 4:15 AM on April 28, 2020; a 2018 entry filed simply “at the WFO.” When the April 2026 outbreak’s overnight round crossed the ring, the first pin came from the office itself at 12:39 AM. NWS employees also logged hail at ordinary NRH corners — Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway, Western Center and I-35 — on their way through the same storms as everyone else. What that means for a car owner is simple: this ring’s dates are unimpeachable. A hail claim lives or dies on its date of loss, and NRH damage can be matched against entries timestamped to the minute by the agency insurers themselves treat as the reference. The rest of the file is our job — a dent map counted under raking light and matched to one of those dates — and between the two, an adjuster has nothing left to question but the repair plan. 2026, By The Record ## ALREADY TWICE THIS YEAR Most of our city tables are quiet in 2026. This one isn’t. In the small hours of April 26, 2026 — the overnight finale of the metro’s [four-day April outbreak](https://dgcollision.com/hail-storms/april-25-28-2026-dfw-hail/) — quarter-size hail moved across the ring from 12:39 to 12:56 AM, pinned first at the NWS office, then west of Richland Hills, then southeast of it. That timing matters for paperwork: the storm your family watched on Saturday evening did its hail work here after midnight, so the honest date of loss is April 26, not April 25 — a one-day slip that stalls claims, and exactly the trap our outbreak page documents. Then on May 25, 2026 at 3:52 PM, a quarter-size round landed a tenth of a mile from the center of North Richland Hills — broad daylight, middle of town. Quarter-size is the threshold class: it dents hoods, roofs and deck lids on steel — shallow, paint-safe, ideal [PDR work](https://dgcollision.com/guides/pdr-vs-body-shop/) — and marks aluminum truck panels at even smaller sizes. A car that sat outside in NRH this spring has met hail twice; five quiet minutes in low morning light down the hood and roof settles whether it left anything behind, and a texted photo settles the rest for free. The Public Record ## NORTH RICHLAND HILLS’ HAIL RECORD — 1″+ DAYS SINCE 2015 Each row is a National Weather Service local storm report logged in North Richland Hills or within five miles of the city center — a ring holding Watauga, Richland Hills and Haltom City’s north side whole, with the Hurst, Bedford, Colleyville and Keller seams at its edges. Point reports mark where a witness stood, nothing more: an unlogged street can still have been hit, and a Hurst pin doesn’t convict a Rufe Snow driveway. Dates and sizes are what the log settles — here, often by the agency’s own staff. Date (local) Largest logged stone What the NWS log says May 25, 2026 1.00″ — quarter Quarter-size a tenth of a mile from the NRH center at 3:52 PM — the ring’s newest entry April 26, 2026 1.00″ — quarter The April outbreak’s overnight round: pins at the NWS office (12:39 AM) and around Richland Hills through 12:56 AM May 6, 2025 1.25″ — half dollar Half-dollar hail on the Colleyville seam at 9:02 in the morning May 27, 2024 2.75″ — baseball The forty-minute barrage: quarters and half-dollars on NRH itself, a measured 2.00″ near Davis Blvd on the Keller seam, golf balls on Hurst, 2.00″ in the Morrisdale neighborhood, a hen egg on Bedford — and a 2.75″ baseball southeast of Hurst at 7:26 PM June 13, 2023 1.00″ — quarter Quarters in Hurst at 6:58 in the morning April 2, 2023 1.50″ — measured A spotter measured 1.5-inch hail in Richland Hills; half-dollars in White Lake Hills, quarters north of Hwy 121 Aug 1, 2021 1.75″ — golf ball Golf balls near Forest Ridge Drive and Highway 183, quarters at 183 and Brown Trail — an August day April 28, 2020 1.50″ — official “1.5 inch hail at NWS office in Fort Worth” at 4:15 AM — the agency’s own pre-dawn entry — with half-dollars over Watauga and Richland Hills minutes later May 18, 2019 1.00″ — quarter Quarter-size near Alliance Town Center on the ring’s northwest reach March 9, 2019 1.00″ — quarter Quarters in Haltom City at 4:59 AM April 21, 2018 1.00″ — quarter Quarters in NRH; a sub-inch entry at Trinidad Drive and Westchase, and another from the forecast office itself April 6, 2018 1.00″ — quarter Ham spotters logged quarters in Watauga at 5:28 PM, NRH at 5:41 April 11, 2017 1.00″ — quarter A 3 AM round: quarters in NRH at 3:28, with a sub-inch pin at Westchase and Buenos Aires April 2, 2017 1.00″ — quarter “Quarter size hail in Haltom City at the NWS office” — 1:28 AM Dec 27, 2015 1.75″ — golf ball Golf balls near Pipeline and Melborne by NE Mall at 2:40 PM, then NWS-employee entries at Davis Blvd and North Tarrant Pkwy — two days after Christmas 2 more days 1.00″ Quarter rounds on the Colleyville seam (March 2019) and northeast of Watauga (May 2023) The calendar deserves a second look: this table holds a December day and an August day around the usual spring core — and December hail is genuinely rare, with only four December hail days logged in the core counties in the whole eleven-year record. NE Mall shoppers on December 27, 2015 caught one of them. The metro-wide month-by-month picture is in our [DFW hail-season data guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/dfw-hail-season/); the Keller side of the Davis Boulevard seam has [its own page and record](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-keller/), including the same measured two-inch stone from May 27, 2024. Published Numbers ## WHAT HAIL REPAIR COSTS FOR NORTH RICHLAND HILLS One published table, sitewide. The long version is the [DFW hail cost guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-damage-repair-cost-dfw/); the [estimator](https://dgcollision.com/repair-cost-estimator/) turns your damage into a range in two minutes. Damage level Published range Notes Single dents (cash PDR) $50–$150 per dent Plus R&I trim labor when trim or a panel must come off for access Light — 1–2 panels $750–$1,500 The 2026 class — quarter rounds on a hood and roof Deep dents on 1–2 panels $1,500–$4,000 Golf-ball hits like August 2021’s on the 183 corridor Several panels, clear coat intact $2,000–$5,000 A citywide round that peppered the whole topside Several panels, deep or cracked paint $5,000–$10,000+ The May 2024 class where the big stones hit square Typical full-vehicle claim $2,500–$8,000 Where most carrier-paid hail claims land Full vehicle, dense but clear $5,000–$9,000 Roof, hood, deck lid and both sides Full vehicle, deep / glass / cracked paint $7,500–$15,000+ Baseball-class damage — total-loss math can enter on older cars Truck panels change the technique, not the table: a 2015-and-later F-150’s aluminum hood work-hardens around every dent and demands the slow-and-warm approach — the [F-150 hail page](https://dgcollision.com/f150-hail-damage-repair/) shows why — while late-model Silverados and Sierras mix aluminum swing panels over steel, mapped on the [two-metals page](https://dgcollision.com/silverado-sierra-hail-damage-repair/). If a baseball-class storm meets an older vehicle, [the will-it-total guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/will-hail-damage-total-my-car/) walks the honest arithmetic. The Insurance Side ## AN NRH HAIL CLAIM, ON THE RECORD Start from the protections. Hail is a comprehensive claim — fault-free, off your driving record. The shop is your call under Tex. Ins. Code §1952.301, however warmly the claims line mentions its network. And 28 TAC §5.7016 bars a carrier from nonrenewing a personal auto policy solely over weather claims. What stays honest to say: no rule freezes premiums, and the post-storm increases most northeast Tarrant drivers feel are territory filings that land ZIP-wide, claim or no claim — the [rates guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-claim-insurance-rates/) shows which levers are real. Then the work. You open the claim — a ten-minute job with our [step-by-step guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/texas-hail-insurance-claim/) — and hand us the number. We draw the dent map under raking light, match it to the dated federal record above, bill your carrier directly and argue [the supplements](https://dgcollision.com/guides/insurance-estimate-final/) with photographs; in our [2026 Progressive files](https://dgcollision.com/guides/progressive-claims-shop-report/), hail claims written on our floor first needed almost none, because the first submission was already complete. Your cost is [the deductible, once](https://dgcollision.com/guides/do-i-have-to-pay-my-deductible/) — with the first $1,000 covered on qualifying hail claims, printed on the estimate. Liability-only on an older commuter? The [liability-only guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/liability-only-car-damage-texas/) runs the cash math without a sales pitch. After The Storm ## THE TENTS WORK RUFE SNOW BY THE WEEK Northeast Tarrant is prime canvassing ground — dense rooftops off Rufe Snow and Davis, big retail lots on Mid-Cities and North Tarrant Parkway, and a fresh federal record to point at. After May 27, 2024 the folding tables were up within days; after this April’s round they didn’t bother waiting for the weekend. A traveling crew isn’t automatically a scam — but the burden of proof runs backwards at your door, and [the nine tells in our hail-scams guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/how-to-spot-hail-scams/) put statutes behind every red flag so you don’t have to argue taste. Keep two of them loaded. A contract signed at your home can be canceled until midnight of the third business day — Texas law, no apology needed. And a deductible “taken care of” by padding the insurance estimate is fraud under Tex. Penal Code §35.02, prosecuted under the name on the policy — yours. The lawful version is boring and in writing: [our program](https://dgcollision.com/deductible-assistance/) covers the first $1,000 of qualifying hail-claim deductibles from our own margin, on an estimate the carrier reads in full. ### DENTED IN NRH?

In the small hours of April 26 — the overnight finale of the April outbreak — quarter-size hail crossed the ring between 12:39 and 12:56 AM, with the first pin logged at the NWS office itself. Then on May 25 at 3:52 PM, quarters fell a tenth of a mile from the center of town. Note the April date carefully: the Saturday-evening storm did its work here after midnight, so the correct date of loss is April 26 — a one-day slip on the paperwork is a classic claim-staller. **Q: Why are NWS employees all over this page’s records?** A: Because the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth forecast office physically sits inside this five-mile ring, on the Haltom City side. When hail crosses northeast Tarrant, the people who maintain the nation’s storm log sometimes measure it in their own parking lot — entries here read “1.5 inch hail at NWS office” and “at the WFO.” For your claim, that means NRH dates of loss are documented about as authoritatively as weather can be. **Q: What was the worst hail day here?** A: May 27, 2024 — a forty-minute barrage across the ring. North Richland Hills itself took quarters and half-dollars; a retired NWS employee measured hail to two inches near Davis Boulevard on the Keller seam; Hurst took repeated golf balls and a two-inch stone in the Morrisdale neighborhood; Bedford logged a hen egg; and at 7:26 PM a 2.75-inch baseball fell southeast of Hurst. Cars caught outside that evening needed everything from pure PDR to glass and refinish work. **Q: Hail in December and August — seriously?** A: Seriously, and it’s on this table: golf balls near Pipeline and Melborne by NE Mall on December 27, 2015 — one of only four December hail days the core counties have logged since 2015 — and golf balls near Forest Ridge and Highway 183 on August 1, 2021. The season peaks in spring here like everywhere in DFW, but this ring’s record brackets nearly the whole calendar, which is one more reason an unexplained dent deserves a date-match before anyone writes it off. **Q: What does hail repair cost in North Richland Hills?** A: The same published table as every DG page: light hail on one or two panels, $750–$1,500; deep dents concentrated on a panel or two, $1,500–$4,000; several panels with paint intact, $2,000–$5,000; the typical full-vehicle carrier claim, $2,500–$8,000; severe damage with cracked paint or glass, $7,500–$15,000+. Cash PDR on a stray dent runs $50–$150 per dent plus R&I trim labor where access needs disassembly. On qualifying hail claims we cover the first $1,000 of the deductible, printed on the estimate. **Q: Do you cover Watauga and Richland Hills?** A: Fully — both sit inside the ring and inside the table above: Watauga’s spotter-logged quarters of April 2018 and the 2020 pre-dawn half-dollars, Richland Hills’ measured 1.5-inch hail of April 2023 and its entries from this April’s overnight round. Free pickup and loaner delivery reach every address there, same as 76180 and 76182. The Hurst, Bedford and Colleyville seams appear in the record too — if that’s you, the same phone number works. **Q: How does pickup from NRH work — and what about my rates?** A: Pickup: call or text, we collect the car anywhere in 76180 or 76182, a loaner from the 50+ fleet takes its place — licensed, insured drivers 18 and up, no deposit, no mileage cap — and the car returns finished, on a written timeline drawn from the dent map. Rates: hail is comprehensive and 28 TAC §5.7016 forbids nonrenewal solely over weather claims; no statute pins the premium itself, and the honest mechanics live in our rates guide.
