Hail in Fort Morgan · Jun 24, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Fort Morgan 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.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Fort Morgan 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.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Fort Morgan, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Fort Morgan's hail record.
This was Fort Morgan's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Fort Morgan at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Fort Morgan: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Weldona (11 miles west, up to 2.5"); Brush (13 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Merino (15 miles northeast, up to 2").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 289 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Fort Morgan Airport, Brush, Log Lane Village, and Adena School — beyond Fort Morgan itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Fort Morgan 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$128M
Potential roof exposure — 10,687 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 53 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$795K
Close just 0.5% of the 10,687 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
