Two ways to read the storm

How Akron saw the hail — from two instruments

The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.

Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Akron, CO on Jun 22, 2026 — The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.

Max size 2.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Akron, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Akron's hail record

This was Akron's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Akron at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Akron: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 22 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Otis (11 miles southeast, up to 2.75"); Atwood (21 miles north, up to 2.75"); Yuma (24 miles east, up to 3").

These maps are stills from Akron's Jun 22, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 2.75" hail means for Akron roofs

Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
