New Raymer, CO Hail Storm – June 2025

New Raymer, CO saw a concluded hailstorm on June 14, 2025, with a peak confirmed hail size of 1.75 inches. The storm produced multiple hail alerts through the evening across the New Raymer area.

What Happened

The first hail alert came at 5:57 PM MDT with 1.25-inch hail indicated by dual-polarization radar. A second 1.25-inch alert followed at 6:15 PM MDT.

Radar signals strengthened later in the evening. At 6:43 PM MDT, hail detection reached 1.75 inches. Another 1.75-inch alert followed at 7:11 PM MDT. A 1-inch alert was then issued at 7:14 PM MDT.

The storm remained in place through the evening with additional radar-derived hail alerts at 7:44 PM MDT and 8:02 PM MDT, both at 1.25 inches. The final alert came at 10:01 PM MDT with 1-inch hail in the NWS warning area.

Eight total alerts were tied to this storm. Seven were supported by dual-polarization radar confidence, and one later alert was based on NWS warning confidence alone.

Damage Assessment

Hail in the 1.25-inch to 1.75-inch range can affect roofs, gutters, vents, skylights, soft metals, and exterior trim. Asphalt shingles can show bruising, granule loss, and exposed mat areas after repeated impacts. Metal flashing and downspouts can show dents. Vehicle damage is also possible, especially on exposed lots and along road corridors.

The storm did not stay at one hail size. It moved between 1 inch, 1.25 inches, and 1.75 inches across the evening. That kind of spread points to varying impact levels across the warning area. A property with only brief exposure may show lighter marks. A site under the stronger cores may show more visible roof and surface impacts.

For contractors, the first step is separating minor cosmetic marks from material damage. Roof slope, age, and shingle condition matter. So do attachment points, ridge features, and penetrations. Soft metals often show the clearest field evidence before the roof surface does. Crews should photograph each side of the structure, then inspect caps, vents, and exposed trim in the same pass.

What Contractors Should Know

Field work in New Raymer should focus on the 6:43 PM MDT through 7:44 PM MDT window. That period carried the strongest radar-confirmed hail signals in this storm. Properties near the most intense part of the storm path may need full roof, siding, and exterior accessory checks. Outbuildings, detached garages, and equipment sheds should not be skipped.

Start with the roof plane and move down the exterior system. Check shingles for bruising and edge lift. Check gutters for denting and separation. Check window screens, AC fins, fence caps, and garage doors. On metal roofs, look for impact dimpling across panels and seam areas. On composition roofs, look for collateral signs around vents, valleys, and ridge lines.
