Where This Data Comes From
Every number on this page comes from the NOAA Storm Events Database, the federal severe-weather event record. This site summary uses report points dated January 2016 through December 2025. City figures count reports within 10 miles of the mapped city center; the metro figure counts reports within 35 miles of downtown Denver.
Hail reports are point records, not complete storm swaths. Radius results overlap, multiple records can belong to one weather system, reporting is not complete, and a point can be miles from a selected property. Hail magnitude is the value stored for each NOAA record.
Recheck any consequential date or magnitude in the source database. This page does not establish causation, property condition, or insurance coverage.
This is the site summary generated July 22, 2026, not a new NOAA extraction. NOAA can revise historical records. The download contains grouped annual counts; it does not include individual event IDs, report coordinates, original center coordinates, or source-file versions needed to reproduce the original radius query.
Check a report in the source
- Use the selected date and county as a research lead in NOAA Storm Events; filter for Colorado and hail.
- Open the underlying event and save its event ID, date, reported magnitude, location, and source version.
- Compare the report point with the property location. Keep property photographs and findings separate.
For an independent analysis, use the NOAA bulk files and field documentation and document your center coordinates, distance calculation, date filters, and source versions. Different centers or revised records can produce different counts.
