Evidence / storm surfaces
How Wray saw the hail — from two instruments
May 30, 2026 · Wray, CO
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.

The storm in context
Where May 30, 2026 sits in Wray's hail record.
This was Wray's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the May 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wray at 2" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wray: the same system put hail over 541 other tracked cities, 23 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Haigler (23 miles northeast, up to 1.75"); Yuma (30 miles northwest, up to 1"); Holyoke (38 miles north, up to 2").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Wray 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.

Reports came from Holyoke, Wauneta, and Clarkville — beyond Wray itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2" hail means for Wray 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.

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 13, 2026.
