2026 Colorado Hail Storms
Every documented hail event in Red Hawk’s service area this season, plus every significant large-hail day statewide, with a full report for each. Sizes in the ground column are National Weather Service Local Storm Reports — what an observer found on the ground. Radar figures are estimates and are labelled as such; a dash means we publish no radar number for that event. The radar contour scale stops at 2.75″, so a ≥2.75″ figure means “at least that size” rather than a peak — ground reports on those days can and do run larger. Wind events are marked as such: the ground column shows the largest gust an instrument measured (or “wind damage” where the NWS logged damage but no gust), and the radar column shows the wind figure the NWS warned for, because no radar estimate exists for surface wind.

Reports publish same-day as preliminary, from radar analysis and early storm reports, and are finalized against the complete verified NWS ground record — typically within about 10 days. Radar swath analysis by ExoVzn using NOAA MRMS data. How to read the reports, and what to do if your address was under a swath, is on the Storm Reports hub.
