Hail Hits Evergreen: What Homeowners Need to Know

Storm Details & Local Impact

Though Evergreen escaped the largest stones, observations from CoCoRaHS confirmed pea to dime-sized hail, particularly around 4:40 to 4:50 pm — enough to damage plants, accumulate on surfaces, and trigger localized flooding. 

Social media videos—including one from Weather Nation—captured the storm’s roaring hail hitting rooftops and driveways. 

Multiple reports showed hail reported in nearby Conifer between 1” and 1.5” just before the storm struck Evergreen, signaling how quickly weather can escalate in the Front Range foothills.

Why This Matters for Your Home

1. Hidden Damage
   Dime-sized hail can crack shingles, remove granules, and compromise flashing and vents—even without visible leaks.
2. Rapid Moisture & Flooding Risk
   Hail buildup on rooftops and gutters can lead to blocked runoff and water infiltration—especially with subsequent heavy rain.
3. Differing Elevation Effects
   Higher elevations like Evergreen see hail more often due to unique weather patterns, making local expertise essential.
4. Insurance Awareness
   Immediate documentation (photos or drone scans) is vital. Minor-seeming hail can become a major claim headache later.
