Evidence / storm surfaces
How Akron saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 24, 2026 · Akron, CO
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Max size
2.25"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 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 24, 2026 sits in Akron's hail record.
This was Akron's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 21 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Akron at 2.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Akron: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Atwood (22 miles north, up to 1.75"); Snyder (25 miles northwest, up to 1.75"); Brush (27 miles west, up to 2.25").
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.

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.

Reports came from Elba, Woodrow, and Messex — beyond Akron itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.25" 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
4,379 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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.
