Two ways to read the storm

How Weldona saw the hail — from two instruments

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

NEXRAD radar signatures

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Where Jul 28, 2026 sits in Weldona's hail record

This was Weldona's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 34 days after the Jun 24, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Weldona at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Weldona: the same system put hail over 686 other tracked cities, 84 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Fort Morgan (23 miles southeast, up to 3.75"); Brush (26 miles southeast, up to 3.5"); Wiggins (28 miles south, up to 2").

These maps are stills from Weldona's Jul 28, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

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 Weldona 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 Weldona roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$960K

Potential roof exposure — 80 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

Other storms in Weldona

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 surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
