How Pueblo saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 28, 2026 · Pueblo, 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-signature map of the hail storm over Pueblo, CO on Jul 28, 2026 — 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.

The storm in context

Where Jul 28, 2026 sits in Pueblo's hail record.

This was Pueblo's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 27, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pueblo at 1.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1.25" hail means for Pueblo 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.

2,978 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$36M

Potential roof exposure — 2,978 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Illustrative jobs: 15 jobs
Illustrative work: ~$225K

Close just 0.5% of the 2,978 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.

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 10, 2026.
