Hail in Brush Jul 9, 2026

Hit 25 days ago

Both radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 22 hail signatures up to 2.75", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.5" aloft. At 2.75" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

Two ways to read the storm

How Brush 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.

NEXRAD radar signatures

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

Where Jul 9, 2026 sits in Brush's hail record

This was Brush's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jul 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Brush at 2.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Brush: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 45 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Fort Morgan (17 miles southwest, up to 2"); Akron (21 miles east, up to 2"); Atwood (23 miles northeast, up to 1").

These maps are stills from Brush's Jul 9, 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.

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.

The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Brush. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.

Severe, roof-replacing hail

What 2.75" hail means for Brush 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.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$408K

Other storms in Brush

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
