Evidence / storm surfaces
How New Raymer saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 12, 2026 · New Raymer, 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 Surface resolved
Radar signature field 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.

The storm in context
Where Aug 12, 2026 sits in New Raymer's hail record.
This was New Raymer's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 35 days after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over New Raymer at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than New Raymer: the same system put hail over 507 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Merino (17 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Snyder (25 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Sterling (29 miles east, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 New Raymer 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.

Timing and place names from NOAA ground reports

Reports came from Kimball, Westplains, and Bushnell — beyond New Raymer itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for New Raymer roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
199 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure

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 Aug 23, 2026.
