Evidence / storm surfaces
How Ramah 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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
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.
The storm in context
Where Sep 18, 2026 sits in Ramah's hail record.
This was Ramah's 18th recorded hail day, arriving 30 days after the Aug 19, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 17th of the 19 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Ramah at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Ramah: the same system put hail over 157 other tracked cities, 9 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Calhan (11 miles west, up to 0.5"); Flagler (52 miles east, up to 0.5"); Stratton (73 miles east, up to 2").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 19 Ramah 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Ramah. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Ramah roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$132K
Potential roof exposure — 11 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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.
