Evidence / storm surfaces

How Englewood saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 13, 2026 · Englewood, 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 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 1.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Englewood, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 13, 2026 sits in Englewood's hail record.

This was Englewood's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 42 days after the Jul 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Englewood at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 3 Englewood 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.

High damage potential

What 1.5" hail means for Englewood roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 14, 2026.
