Hail in Colorado Springs · Jun 23, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Colorado Springs that day. At 2.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Colorado Springs saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 23, 2026 · Colorado Springs, CO
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Max size
2.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 23, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Colorado Springs, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 23, 2026 sits in Colorado Springs's hail record.
This was Colorado Springs's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 22, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 20 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Colorado Springs at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 23, 2026 convective day was bigger than Colorado Springs: the same system put hail over 330 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Yoder (22 miles east, up to 1.5"); Boone (31 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Peyton (31 miles north, up to 2").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 20 Colorado Springs 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.

Storm forensics
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.
Hail was reported over 466 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Pinon, Fountain, Ellicott, Calhan, Peterson Afb, and Black Forest — beyond Colorado Springs itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Colorado Springs 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.

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 24, 2026.
