Hail in Pueblo · Sep 9, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Pueblo that day. At 2.5" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Pueblo 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 Sep 9, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Pueblo, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 9, 2026 sits in Pueblo's hail record.
This was Pueblo's 15th recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the Aug 25, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Pueblo at 2.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Pueblo: the same system put hail over 71 other tracked cities, 9 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Beulah (12 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Florence (13 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Penrose (17 miles north, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Pueblo 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Pueblo 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.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Pueblo 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.
Potential roof exposure
$2.6M
Potential roof exposure — 214 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 214 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.
Claim window
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $45 on top of the $150 plan.
