Evidence / storm surfaces
How Wray saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 20, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wray, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 20, 2026 sits in Wray's hail record.
This was Wray's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 19 days after the Jun 1, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wray at 3" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 20, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wray: the same system put hail over 298 other tracked cities, 17 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Eckley (20 miles west, up to 1.5"); Saint Francis (23 miles southeast, up to 2.25"); Haigler (23 miles northeast, up to 2.25").

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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked east at roughly 20 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 33 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Laird and Eckley — beyond Wray itself.
Severe hail signal
What 3" 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$13M
Potential roof exposure — 1,079 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 5 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$75K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,079 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 $227 on top of the $150 plan.
