Evidence / storm surfaces
How Brush saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
The storm in context
Where Jul 2, 2026 sits in Brush's hail record.
This was Brush's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 6 days after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 14th of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Brush at 0" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 2, 2026 convective day was bigger than Brush: the same system put hail over 1,147 other tracked cities, 27 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Fort Morgan (13 miles northwest, up to 2.5"); Akron (27 miles east, up to 2.5"); Sterling (32 miles northeast, up to 2.75").

Ground reports
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Brush for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Below the severe threshold
What 0" hail means for Brush roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
