Evidence / storm surfaces

How Peetz saw the hail — from two instruments

Sep 17, 2026 · Peetz, 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Peetz, CO on Sep 17, 2026 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.

Max size 0.75"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Peetz, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Sep 17, 2026 sits in Peetz's hail record.

This was Peetz's 19th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Sep 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 16th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Peetz at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Sep 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Peetz: the same system put hail over 75 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Iliff (9 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Lodgepole (26 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Chappell (33 miles northeast, up to 1.75").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Peetz for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

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.

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 18, 2026.
