Colorado Hail Map & Hail Report History

Colorado's Front Range is one of the costliest hail regions in the U.S., with damaging storms hitting Denver, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins from May through August.

Every hail report below comes from official National Weather Service storm reports for Colorado, covering the last 365 days. Times are Central. Sizes are the measured or estimated stone diameter in inches.

This is the Colorado view. The national storm map adds live radar showing hail falling right now, real NWS warned storm paths, radar-measured hail footprints, and every state at once. Filters for date, state, and hail size can be set on the national hail map page.

How to read Colorado hail sizes

  • 1" (quarter) — the NWS severe threshold. Enough to dent soft metal and bruise shingles.
  • 1.75" (golf ball) — widespread vehicle dents and the size that usually opens PDR work.
  • 2.5"+ (tennis ball and up) — roof fractures, broken glass and full-scale catastrophe deployments.
