Hail in Joes Jun 22, 2026
Hit 42 days agoThe radar-estimated size surface caught this storm, reaching 3" aloft. NEXRAD logged no point detections over Joes this day. At 3" — baseball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.

How Joes saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Joes, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 22, 2026 sits in Joes's hail record
This was Joes's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jun 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Joes at 3" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Joes: the same system put hail over 258 other tracked cities, 22 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Kirk (9 miles southeast, up to 2"); Cope (11 miles southwest, up to 3"); Anton (11 miles west, up to 2.75").
These maps are stills from Joes's Jun 22, 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 3" hail means for Joes 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.
