Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kit Carson 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Kit Carson, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 21, 2026 sits in Kit Carson's hail record.
This was Kit Carson's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jun 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kit Carson at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kit Carson: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 30 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Cheyenne Wells (19 miles east, up to 1.5"); Sheridan Lake (38 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Arapahoe (41 miles east, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Kit Carson 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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Kit Carson. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Kit Carson roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$4.3M
Potential roof exposure — 357 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 357 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.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $75 on top of the $150 plan.
