Evidence / storm surfaces
How Haxtun saw the hail — from two instruments
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 signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Haxtun's hail record.
This was Haxtun's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Haxtun at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Haxtun: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 38 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Crook (20 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Yuma (21 miles south, up to 3.75"); Holyoke (22 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Haxtun 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
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Haxtun. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Haxtun 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$15M
Potential roof exposure — 1,271 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 6 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$90K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,271 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.
