Evidence / storm surfaces
How Peetz 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Peetz, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 21, 2026 sits in Peetz's hail record.
This was Peetz's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the May 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 16th of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Peetz at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Peetz: the same system put hail over 120 other tracked cities, 20 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Padroni (13 miles west, up to 0.75"); Sterling (24 miles south, up to 1"); Kimball (32 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 18 Peetz 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 Peetz. 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Peetz roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$948K
Potential roof exposure — 79 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
