Hail in Byers Jun 24, 2026
Hit 40 days agoThe radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 2" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Byers this day. At 2" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Byers 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.
Radar-estimated hail size
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"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Byers, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Byers's hail record
This was Byers's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Byers at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Byers: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Wiggins (7 miles north, up to 0.75"); Fort Morgan (19 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Strasburg (19 miles southwest, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills from Byers's Jun 24, 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.
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.

Reports came from Deer Trail — beyond Byers itself.
What 2" hail means for Byers 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
$23M

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.
