Hail in Trinidad · Jun 24, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Trinidad that day. At 2" — tennis ball — 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 Trinidad 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 Jun 24, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Trinidad, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 24, 2026 sits in Trinidad's hail record.
This was Trinidad's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Jun 15, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Trinidad at 2" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 24, 2026 convective day was bigger than Trinidad: the same system put hail over 383 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Raton (7 miles south, up to 1.25"); Boncarbo (18 miles northwest, up to 2"); Weston (18 miles northwest, up to 1").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Trinidad 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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 30 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Cokedale — beyond Trinidad itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for Trinidad 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
$34M
Potential roof exposure — 2,819 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 14 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$210K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,819 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
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 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 $592 on top of the $150 plan.
