What this is
A Front Range hail intensity report, built from Homey’s storm archive.
Homey Roofing maintains a Colorado hail archive compiled from NOAA / NCEI Storm Events (hail). This page rolls up 11 Front Range and Front Range–adjacent counties Homey serves or markets into: Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, El Paso, Larimer, Weld, and Teller.
Window: 2016-01-01 through 2026-07-31 (NCEI coverage in Homey’s file). Counts are storm-event reports, not insured losses. Magnitudes are inches. This is Homey-owned analysis for homeowners, agents, and anyone citing Front Range hail frequency — not a National Weather Service product.
