How Akron saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 22, 2026 · Akron, CO

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 Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Akron, CO on Jun 22, 2026 Estimated size field

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 21 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 (14 miles north, up to 2.75"); Atwood (22 miles north, up to 2.75"); Anton (31 miles south, up to 2.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 21 Akron storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Storm forensics

How the storm moved

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.

The storm tracked south at roughly 30 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.

Hail was reported over 39 minutes, from to .

Reports came from Burdett and Platner — beyond Akron itself.

Severe hail signal

What 2.75" hail means for Akron roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 26, 2026.
