Two ways to read the storm

How Eaton 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
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Eaton, CO on Jun 20, 2026

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 1"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Eaton, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Eaton's hail record

This was Eaton's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 17 days after the Jun 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Eaton at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Eaton: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 17 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Greeley (12 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Kersey (18 miles south, up to 1"); La Salle (18 miles south, up to 0.5").

These maps are stills from Eaton's Jun 20, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Eaton roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

Other storms in Eaton

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.
