The DFW metroplex saw a notable increase in convective activity throughout mid-September. Higher-than-average humidity levels contributed to several localized storm cells that produced hail ranging from pea-sized to one inch in diameter.
Regional Impact
Most of the activity was concentrated in the northern suburbs, specifically affecting areas in Collin and Denton counties. While these stones were not as large as the significant spring events, the frequency of the storms has led to repetitive impacts on older roof systems.
Homeowners are encouraged to monitor their properties for signs of shingle bruising or displaced granules. Granule loss, while often cosmetic initially, can accelerate the degradation of the underlying asphalt layer over time.
Local adjusters report a steady volume of inspections following these events. If your neighborhood was in the path of recent weather, a professional assessment is recommended to document any functional damage before the transition into the late fall season.
