Evidence / storm surfaces

How Woodrow saw the hail — from two instruments

Aug 26, 2026 · Woodrow, 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.

Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Woodrow, CO on Aug 26, 2026 Estimated size field

Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.

Max size 1.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 26, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Woodrow, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Aug 26, 2026 sits in Woodrow's hail record.

This was Woodrow's 18th recorded hail day, arriving 12 days after the Aug 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 18 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Woodrow at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Aug 26, 2026 convective day was bigger than Woodrow: the same system put hail over 440 other tracked cities, 39 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Agate (23 miles southwest, up to 1"); Deer Trail (27 miles west, up to 1"); Byers (27 miles west, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 18 Woodrow 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

No reports filed with the NWS

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 Woodrow 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.

High damage potential

What 1.5" hail means for Woodrow roofs.

Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

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 Aug 27, 2026.
