Andrews County Hail Patterns & Storm History
West Texas Hail Corridor
Andrews County sits in the heart of West Texas's active hail corridor, where geographic and atmospheric conditions create the perfect storm environment. Located at the intersection of the Great Plains and desert climates, Andrews experiences unique weather patterns that generate severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging hail.
The county's elevation of approximately 3,200 feet above sea level, combined with its position east of the Permian Basin escarpment, creates orographic lifting that enhances thunderstorm development. This topographic influence, paired with the clash of dry desert air masses and moist Gulf air, regularly produces supercell thunderstorms during peak season.
Peak Hail Season in Andrews
- • April - June: Primary hail season (85% of events)
- • Late afternoon/evening: Peak occurrence hours (2PM-8PM)
- • Average size: Quarter to golf ball (1-1.75 inches)
- • Record size: Softball-sized hail (4+ inches diameter)
Notable Storm Events
May 2021 Supercell Complex
Baseball to softball-sized hail across northern Andrews County, causing widespread roof and vehicle damage. Wind speeds exceeded 70 mph.
April 2019 Outbreak
Multiple supercells produced golf ball-sized hail throughout the county, with significant agricultural and property damage reported.
June 2017 Evening Storm
Intense hailstorm with stones up to 2.5 inches in diameter, concentrated around Andrews city limits and Highway 385 corridor.
Insurance Insight: Andrews County typically sees 15-25 significant hail events annually, with insurance claims peaking during May and June when atmospheric instability is highest.
