Evidence / storm surfaces

How Yuma saw the hail — from two instruments

Jul 9, 2026 · Yuma, 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.

NEXRAD radar-signature map of the hail storm over Yuma, CO on Jul 9, 2026 Radar signature field

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.

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

The storm in context

Where Jul 9, 2026 sits in Yuma's hail record.

This was Yuma's 20th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 25 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Yuma at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Yuma: the same system put hail over 944 other tracked cities, 45 of them in Colorado. Nearest: Paoli (15 miles north, up to 0"); Haxtun (21 miles north, up to 1"); Holyoke (21 miles northeast, up to 1").

These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 25 Yuma 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.

Damage-capable hail signal

What 1" hail means for Yuma roofs.

Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure

What this storm is worth to a roofer.

52 homes × $12,000 avg. claim

Potential roof exposure

$624K

Potential roof exposure — 52 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Claim window

July 2028

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.

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 26, 2026.
