Colorado Storm Reports

After every documented hail event in Red Hawk’s service area — and every significant large-hail day anywhere in Colorado — we publish a storm report: every National Weather Service report by location, size and time, a radar hail-swath map, the warning timeline, and what to check on your roof.

How these reports are built

Ground figures are National Weather Service Local Storm Reports, retrieved from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet archive and de-duplicated — hail an observer found on the ground, not a radar estimate. Radar swath analysis is by ExoVzn, an independent forensic meteorology firm, using NOAA MRMS data. Radar figures are estimates, are always labelled as estimates, and are never presented as the size of hail that fell. Reports publish same-day from radar analysis and early storm reports, marked preliminary, and are finalized against the complete verified NWS ground record — typically within about 10 days.

Was your roof under one of these?

Hail bruising fractures the shingle mat beneath a surface that still looks intact, then sheds granules over the following months — a hail-damaged roof commonly looks normal from the ground long after the storm. Start with what hail damage actually looks like on a roof and the Colorado hail claim guide, or see our hail damage service for what an inspection covers.
