How do you get a hail report for a ZIP code?
Enter any street address inside the ZIP code, and the free report covers the area around it. HailScore searches an 8-mile radius from the address — which typically spans the neighborhoods a ZIP occupies — and returns the most recent NOAA Storm Events hail reports near it, each with its date, reported hail size, and distance, plus an exposure score from 0 to 100 and an interactive storm map; the dated list unlocks with an email step.
The records come from three NOAA datasets — NEXRAD Doppler radar, MRMS live radar (ingested every two hours), and the NOAA Storm Events Database — plus the CoCoRaHS volunteer observer network: 41.6M+records in total. For a Colorado ZIP code, the ZIP lookup below summarizes the NOAA hail reports near its center.
Wondering which areas get hit most? For Colorado, the live ranking of the state's most hail-prone ZIP codes is built from the same NOAA record set.
Hail storm history by ZIP code (Colorado)
Type a Colorado ZIP code to see how many NOAA Storm Events hail reports fall within 5 miles of its center since 2015, the largest hail size reported, and the date of the newest report. 347 of the 527 Colorado ZIP codes on file have at least one such report; the other 180 have none in that window. These are reports from the public record, not a HailScore score, and not a finding of damage.
Source: NOAA Storm Events Database. NOAA publishes these reports months after a storm; the newest Colorado hail report on file is from June 30, 2026. Counts refresh daily.
Why hail history by ZIP code alone can mislead you
A single ZIP can span 50+ square miles. Hailstorms don't respect postal boundaries — a supercell can hammer one half of a ZIP while the other half stays bone dry. Any tool that answers at the ZIP level has to blend those two realities into one number, which overstates the exposure for some homes and understates it for others.
That's why HailScore anchors the search to a real point instead of a postal polygon. The report still shows you the recent hail reports for the ZIP code's area — within 8 miles — but each one carries its distance from the address you entered, so you can see whether the storm tracked over your street or the far side of town.
If you're checking a specific property, run the address-level check directly. If you're researching an area — a ZIP you're moving to, a neighborhood you canvass, a listing's surroundings — any address inside it gives you the area's storm ledger.
The data behind every ZIP-code hail report
Four public hail datasets — three from NOAA and one from the CoCoRaHS volunteer observer network — each searched around the exact address you enter.
8.8M+ records
NOAA Doppler radar hail detections from 2015 to present, each with a radar-estimated hail size, from NOAA's Severe Weather Data Inventory and refreshed weekly.
32.4M+ records
MESH — Maximum Estimated Size of Hail — ingested every two hours, so yesterday's storm shows up today.
308K+ records
Storm reports, nearly all of them hail, from spotters, emergency managers and law enforcement — quality-controlled and published by NOAA months after the storm.
25K+ records
Volunteer observer measurements from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a free hail report by ZIP code?+
Yes. Enter any street address inside the ZIP code in the search box above and HailScore returns a free hail report: an exposure score, an interactive storm map, and a dated list of the most recent NOAA Storm Events hail reports within an 8-mile radius — which typically covers the ZIP's surrounding neighborhoods. The score and map are free with no signup and no credit card; the dated event-by-event list unlocks with an email step. HailScore's record set holds 41.6M+ NOAA-linked hail records.
How do I find the hail storm history by ZIP code?+
Pick any address in the ZIP — your home, a listing you're watching, a rental — and run the free check. The report's map and dated event list show the most recent NOAA Storm Events hail reports with their date, reported hail size, and distance from the address, and the report also draws on NEXRAD and MRMS radar and CoCoRaHS volunteer observer reports. Because the search radius spans 8 miles, the storm history you see covers the area a ZIP code occupies, not just one rooftop.
Why does HailScore ask for an address instead of just a ZIP code?+
Because a single ZIP can span 50+ square miles — one half might have been hammered by a supercell while the other half saw nothing. A ZIP-level answer has to average those two realities together, which overstates the exposure for some homes and understates it for others. HailScore geocodes the exact address and runs a geographic radius query against the NOAA data, so the answer reflects where the storms actually tracked. You still see everything that happened around the ZIP — it's just anchored to a real point instead of a postal boundary.
Which ZIP codes get the most hail?+
Hail concentrates along 'Hail Alley' — the corridor where Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas meet — with the Colorado Front Range among the most active metro areas in the country. For Colorado specifically, HailScore publishes a live ranking of the state's most hail-prone ZIP codes, built from the same NOAA record set that powers the address reports.
Does a hail report by ZIP code confirm roof damage?+
No. What the report documents is exposure — hail of damage-capable size detected near the property — not confirmed damage. Hail can crack shingles or knock granules off in ways no radar or satellite can see, and only a physical inspection by a licensed contractor can establish whether a specific roof was actually damaged. Use the report to decide whether an inspection is worth scheduling, and to match event dates against problems you've noticed.
How recent is the hail data for my ZIP code?+
MRMS (live radar) is ingested every two hours, so a storm that hit yesterday appears in today's report. NEXRAD SWDI refreshes weekly. NOAA Storm Events — the ground-verified layer — publishes months behind (typically 2-4 months for QC review). Every report's recent-hail panel is stamped with the time its MRMS radar data was current as of.
