Hail in Boone · Jun 22, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.25" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Boone that day. At 2.25" — tennis ball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Boone saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Boone, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Boone's hail record.
This was Boone's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 24 days after the May 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Boone at 2.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Boone: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 22 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Olney Springs (13 miles southeast, up to 2"); Fowler (15 miles south, up to 2.25"); Manzanola (21 miles southeast, up to 1").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 27 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Fowler and Pueblo Depot — beyond Boone itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.25" hail means for Boone 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.
Potential roof exposure
$2.6M
Potential roof exposure — 220 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 220 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $46 on top of the $150 plan.
