Two ways to read the storm

How Yuma 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.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Yuma, CO on May 30, 2026 — NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

The storm in context

Where May 30, 2026 sits in Yuma's hail record

This was Yuma's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the May 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 21 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Yuma at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Yuma: the same system put hail over 541 other tracked cities, 23 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Otis (17 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Akron (24 miles west, up to 1.25"); Wray (32 miles northeast, up to 2").

These maps are stills from Yuma's May 30, 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.

Shingle-bruising hail

What 1" hail means for Yuma roofs

Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
