How Grover saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 13, 2026 · Grover, 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.

NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

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

This was Grover's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 35 days after the Jul 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 13th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Grover at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Grover: the same system put hail over 437 other tracked cities, 22 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Pine Bluffs (10 miles north, up to 1.25"); Burns (20 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Bushnell (27 miles northeast, up to 2").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 13 Grover 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.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Grover for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Grover roofs.

Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

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 Sep 6, 2026.
