Evidence / storm surfaces

How Fort Morgan saw the hail — from two instruments

Jun 24, 2026 · Fort Morgan, CO

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 map of the storm over Fort Morgan, CO on Jun 24, 2026 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.

Max size 2.5"

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").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Fort Morgan 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 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.

10,687 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

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 17, 2026.
