Evidence / storm surfaces
How Parker saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 8, 2026 · Parker, CO
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field 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.
Max size
1.25"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 8, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Parker, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in Parker's hail record.
This was Parker's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Jun 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Parker at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Parker: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 49 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Castle Rock (9 miles southwest, up to 1"); Elizabeth (16 miles east, up to 1.75"); Bennett (20 miles east, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Parker 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.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Parker 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.

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 7, 2026.
