Peach Springs, AZ Hail Storm – July 2025

On July 3, 2025, Peach Springs, AZ, was hit by a concluded hailstorm that produced a maximum confirmed hail size of 1.75 inches. The storm moved through the area in multiple waves from early evening into the night.

What Happened

The first hail alerts came at 6:01 PM MST and 6:03 PM MST, each calling for 1-inch hail with dual-polarization radar confidence. A third 1-inch alert followed at 6:49 PM MST. A fourth alert at 7:22 PM MST also called for 1-inch hail, but it carried NWS warning-only confidence.

The storm intensified later in the evening. At 9:16 PM MST, alerts increased to 1.75-inch hail with dual-polarization radar confidence. A final 1.75-inch alert followed at 9:51 PM MST. The alert sequence shows a shift from smaller hail early in the event to larger hail in the late-evening phase.

This was a multi-zone storm report for the Peach Springs metro area. The warning area covered the broad storm path through the region, with hail potential changing across the event window.

Damage Assessment

Hail up to 1 inch can break softer roofing materials, dent siding, and leave marks on vehicles. It also creates visible losses on aluminum trim, vents, and skylights when the hail falls with enough density.

The later 1.75-inch hail changes the field picture. Hail in that range can crack shingles, bruise roof surfaces, and damage window screens, gutters, and exterior HVAC components. Vehicles exposed in the open can show deeper dents and broken glass in the hardest-hit pockets.

For contractors, the key point is variation. The early 1-inch reports and the later 1.75-inch reports do not describe the same level of impact across the full storm path. Roofs near the stronger late-evening core may show heavier losses than properties that only saw the earlier round of hail.

Inspection teams should prioritize roofs with age-related wear, ridge caps, soft metals, and impacts around roof penetrations. Flat and low-slope roofs may show bruising or membrane marks that are easier to miss from the ground. Siding, screens, and gutters should be checked on every side of the structure, not just the windward face.

Vehicle lots, equipment yards, and exposed inventories should be checked for impact patterns consistent with the hail size range documented in the alert sequence. Separate properties that only saw brief hail from those under the later 1.75-inch alerts.

What Contractors Should Know

This event supports a targeted canvass in and around Peach Springs. Lead generation should focus on homes and businesses inside the warning area, with priority on roof slopes facing open exposure and properties with older asphalt shingles. Window screens, skylights, metal roofs, AC fins, and gutters deserve direct field review.

Field teams should also watch for mixed damage signatures. A property may show light roof damage from the earlier 1-inch phase and heavier exterior loss from the later 1.75-inch phase. Document roof condition, gutter deformation, soft metal dents, and vehicle impacts separately. Keep photo sets organized by address and by side of structure.
