Model, CO Hail Warning – June 2025

What Happened

Model, CO, saw a severe hail warning on June 27, 2025, with the alert issued at 3:06 PM MDT. The warning called for hail up to 1.5 inches as the storm moved through the area in the afternoon.

This was an NWS warning only. No radar or spotter confirmation was available in the event record. The storm was concluded by the end of the event window.

Damage Assessment

A 1.5-inch hail threat sits in the range where roof, siding, and vehicle impacts become more likely. Soft metal surfaces, skylights, and exposed HVAC equipment can also take hits when stones reach this size.

For residential property, look first at shingles, ridge caps, gutters, and downspouts. Asphalt roofs can show bruising or granule loss after hail in this range. Window screens, exterior trim, and painted surfaces can also show impact marks.

For commercial sites, check roof membranes, condensers, exhaust housings, and storefront glass. Flat roofs with aging seams often show the first visible signs of hail stress after a warning of this size.

The warning area for this storm was single-zone and centered on Model. Crews working in and around the area should expect a narrow damage footprint if field checks later show impact evidence from the event.

What Contractors Should Know

Field visits should start with the roofing inventory. Focus on steep-slope shingles, soft metals, vents, and any roof edges that faced the storm path during the warning period. On metal and synthetic surfaces, look for dents, coating loss, and punctures at exposed points.

Ground-level checks should include gutters, window screens, siding, fence caps, and vehicle lots. If there are any claims tied to the June 27 event, ask for time-stamped photos and compare them to the 3:06 PM MDT warning window. Document exposure by address and roof plane before any repair estimates are written.

Prioritize properties with older roofing, complex rooflines, or heavy accessory equipment. Homes and businesses with skylights, ridge vents, and large south- or west-facing exposures often need the most detailed inspection after a warning that includes 1.5-inch hail.

For contractors building a route plan, the warning area in Model provides the best starting point for canvass timing. Keep notes separate for roof, siding, and vehicle impacts so the file stays clean if the property later enters claim review.
