Hail season on the northeast side
Bexar County sits on the southern edge of Texas hail alley. Our biggest hail months are April through June, but as the September 11, 2026 storm proved, a single front in early fall can drop golf-ball stones with no warning beyond a few minutes. The northeast side of San Antonio, from Windcrest out through Converse, Kirby, Universal City and Schertz, takes a disproportionate share of those storms because of how cells track off the Hill Country and along I-35 and I-10.
