Was There Hail in Tulsa in 2026? A Dated Report Log

Yes, there was Tulsa hail in 2026. The Storm Prediction Center's preliminary reports list hail of 1 inch or larger near Tulsa-area towns on Mar 6, Apr 28, May 8 and Aug 7. The biggest SPC entries in Tulsa, Rogers and Wagoner counties were 2.00 inches near Owasso and Wagoner in SPC's May 8 hail list, and the National Weather Service's Storm Data for May 2026 adds wind-driven hail up to 2.25 inches southeast of Collinsville in Rogers County.

Was there hail in Tulsa this year?

Yes. SPC's Mar 6 list, its Apr 28 list, its May 8 list and its Aug 7 list each include hail of 1.00 inch or larger in Tulsa, Rogers or Wagoner counties.

The table logs reports near towns in those three counties. Sizes are in inches. SPC files use UTC, so the Oklahoma timing is given in words.

Date	Reported near	County	Size	Local timing
Mar 6	3 E Glenpool	Tulsa	1.00 in.	Evening
Apr 28	1 WNW Collinsville	Tulsa	1.25 in.	Afternoon
Apr 28	4 W Oologah	Rogers	1.00 in.	Afternoon
Apr 28	3 SW Tulsa	Tulsa	1.00 in.	Afternoon
May 8	4 NE Skiatook	Tulsa	1.75 in.	Late afternoon
May 8	3 SW Collinsville	Tulsa	1.75 in.	Late afternoon
May 8	5 E Owasso	Rogers	2.00 in.	Late afternoon
May 8	Verdigris	Rogers	1.50 in.	Early evening
May 8	2 N Tulsa	Tulsa	1.00 in.	Early evening
May 8	1 NNW Inola	Rogers	1.50 in.	Early evening
May 8	1 NW Wagoner	Wagoner	2.00 in.	Early evening
Aug 7	Coweta	Wagoner	1.00 in.	Mid-afternoon

Each row is a point report, so read the phrase reported near literally. It means hail of that size was seen at that spot. It does not mean every roof nearby took damage.

How big was the hail near Owasso on May 8?

The largest May 8 entry near Owasso was 2.00 inches, reported 5 E Owasso in Rogers County and described in SPC's May 8 report list as hen egg size. It was the busiest hail day for Tulsa, Rogers and Wagoner counties in the SPC files reviewed for this log.

2.00 in. at 1 NW Wagoner, reported 1 mile north of Wagoner on Highway 69.
1.75 in. (golf ball) at 4 NE Skiatook and 3 SW Collinsville, both in Tulsa County. The Collinsville time was adjusted using radar.
1.50 in. (ping pong ball) at Verdigris and at 1 NNW Inola, both in Rogers County.
1.00 in. at 2 N Tulsa.

The times run from late afternoon near Skiatook to early evening near Wagoner.

How deep were the Collinsville hail drifts?

NWS Tulsa's Storm Data for May 2026 records hail drifts up to 2.5 feet deep at 6.2 SE Collinsville, in Rogers County. The drifts were still evident on the north side of buildings until May 12.

The entry describes wind-driven hail up to 2.25 inches from 16:52 to 17:03 CST on May 8. It damaged homes, vehicles, outbuildings and trailers. A separate entry at the same spot lists an estimated 56-knot thunderstorm gust that snapped large tree limbs and damaged the roofs of homes.

Other Storm Data entries from that afternoon near the metro:

1.75 in. at 4.0 NE Skiatook, 16:30 CST, where hail damaged homes and vehicles.
1.75 in. at 3.0 SW Collinsville, 16:50 CST.
2.00 in. at 3.8 SSW Sageeyah and at 6.2 WNW Verdigris in Rogers County, 16:53 and 16:54 CST.
2.00 in. at 0.9 SSW La Barge in Wagoner County, 17:56 CST.

Storm Data lists times in CST, even in May. Its pages were printed on 07/21/2026, well after the storm. The 2.25-inch entry does not appear in SPC's quick May 8 list, so checking both sources gives a fuller picture.

What was reported near Tulsa on Apr 28, Mar 6 and Aug 7?

These three days brought smaller reports, from 1.00 to 1.25 inches, in SPC's Apr 28 hail list, its Mar 6 hail list and its Aug 7 hail list.

Apr 28: Collinsville, Oologah and southwest Tulsa

The largest entry in the three counties was 1.25 inches at 1 WNW Collinsville. Reports of 1.00 inch came from 4 W Oologah in Rogers County and 3 SW Tulsa. All of them arrived in the afternoon, local time.

Mar 6: Glenpool topped out at 1.00 inch

SPC's list shows a 1.00-inch, quarter-size mPING report at 3 E Glenpool. It came in during the evening of Mar 6 in Oklahoma, near the end of that day's file. It is the only entry from Tulsa, Rogers or Wagoner counties on the list, which tops out at 1.00 inch for hail there that day.

Aug 7: one Coweta report, not two

SPC's Aug 7 list has a 1.00-inch report at Coweta, in Wagoner County. It was logged in the middle of the afternoon locally. It was a delayed report based on video, with a max size of a quarter. The entry corrects the time of an earlier Coweta report, so it describes one hailfall.

How should you read Tulsa-metro hail reports?

Treat every line in SPC's daily hail lists as a preliminary point report: one observation, at one spot, at one time, open to correction.

A few things help when you read them:

Sources vary. Many entries come from mPING, an app where the public submits what they see. Others come from trained spotters, emergency managers, media and NWS staff, as entries in the Tulsa office's Storm Data show.
Sizes are coded. SPC files write sizes without a decimal point, so read them as hundredths of an inch.
Times are UTC. Entries near the end of a file fell on the evening of the file's date in Oklahoma. Some comments note a time estimated or adjusted from radar.
Places are offsets. An entry like 5 E Owasso marks a spot east of Owasso, not the town itself.
Gaps are normal. No report near your street does not mean no hail fell there. It may only mean no one sent one in.

Oklahoma City readers will find their area in the same May 8 list. It includes 1.75 inches at 3 SW Yukon, 1.50 inches at 6 N Newcastle and 1.25 inches at 4 E Mustang.

What can you check from the ground after a nearby hail report?

You can learn a lot from the yard and from indoors, with no ladder and without going onto the roof.

Walk around the house and look for dents in gutters, downspouts and any metal vents you can see from the ground. Binoculars help.
Check downspout outlets and splash blocks for shingle granules washed down by rain.
Look at window screens, siding, painted trim, fences and the AC unit for dents, chips or tears.
Indoors, look at ceilings and upper walls for new stains, especially after the next rain.
Take dated photos of anything you find, with one wide shot and one close-up.
Write down the storm date and what you noticed. Keep receipts if you pay a professional for an emergency repair, such as a tarp.

Stay well away from any downed power lines or trees touching them. Your insurance company decides what is covered, and coverage questions go to your agent or insurer.

When do you need a roofer after hail?

You may not need one at all if your ground check turns up no dents, no granule piles and no stains. A report near your town is not, by itself, a reason to repair or replace anything.

A professional look makes sense when you see:

Dents in gutters, downspouts or vents
Granules collecting at downspout outlets
Missing, cracked or lifted shingles visible from the ground
New ceiling stains or an active leak

Anything at roof height is a job for a professional. Oklahoma registers roofing contractors through the Construction Industries Board instead of licensing them. Ask any roofer, including one who knocks on your door, for their Oklahoma roofing registration number and proof of insurance. Get written estimates and compare them line by line. The post on how to check an Oklahoma roofing company's history walks through the public records. If repairs are needed, the storm damage repair page explains that work, and the full list of exterior services covers gutters and siding too.

If a ground check after one of these dates turned up dented gutters, granules at a downspout or a new ceiling stain, a professional look can tell hail marks from ordinary wear.

Frequently asked questions

Did Glenpool have large hail on March 6, 2026?

SPC's preliminary list for that day shows a 1.00-inch report at 3 E Glenpool, sent in through mPING and described as quarter size. It came in during the evening. It is the only entry from Tulsa, Rogers or Wagoner counties on that day's list, so it is also the largest size listed there.

Where do SPC hail reports come from?

They come from many observers. Entries in SPC's lists and NWS Storm Data this year include reports from the mPING public app, trained spotters, emergency managers, broadcast media, amateur radio operators and National Weather Service staff. SPC's lists are preliminary, and some entries are corrected later, as the Aug 7 Coweta entry shows.

Does a hail report near my town mean my roof was damaged?

No. A report marks hail seen at one spot at one time, and it cannot tell you what fell on your street or how your roof held up. Roof age and material matter too. Look for dents on gutters and vents, granules at downspout outlets and ceiling stains before deciding whether to call a professional.

What was the largest hail reported in Tulsa, Rogers and Wagoner counties in 2026?

In the records reviewed for this log, the largest was wind-driven hail up to 2.25 inches, listed in NWS Storm Data at 6.2 SE Collinsville in Rogers County on May 8. On SPC's preliminary lists, the top size in those three counties was 2.00 inches, reported 5 E Owasso and 1 NW Wagoner on May 8.

Why don't SPC report times match local time?

SPC's daily files list times in UTC rather than Central time. That is why the Glenpool report from the evening of Mar 6 sits near the end of that day's file instead of the middle. NWS Storm Data takes a different approach and lists times in CST, even in months when Oklahoma is on daylight time.
