Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cheyenne saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
The storm in context
Where Jun 1, 2026 sits in Cheyenne's hail record.
This was Cheyenne's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the May 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cheyenne at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 1, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cheyenne: the same system put hail over 827 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Wyoming. Nearest: Wellington (28 miles south, up to 2"); Bellvue (37 miles south, up to 0.5"); Chugwater (42 miles northeast, up to 2").

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 northeast at roughly 20 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 38 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Natural Fort and South Greeley High — beyond Cheyenne itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Cheyenne 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.
Potential roof exposure
$168K
Potential roof exposure — 14 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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 $3 on top of the $150 plan.
