Hail in Fort Morgan Jun 24, 2026
Hit 40 days agoThe radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 2.5" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Fort Morgan this day. At 2.5" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

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.
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.
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 12 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: Brush (17 miles northeast, up to 2.25"); Wiggins (17 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Byers (19 miles southwest, up to 2").
These maps are stills from Fort Morgan's Jun 24, 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.

What 2.5" hail means for Fort Morgan roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.
