Broomfield hail storm history
Broomfield County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Broomfield sits on the Colorado Front Range, where afternoon convective storms tracking northeast from the Rocky Mountains create predictable hail corridors across Broomfield County. This geographic position places the city in a zone of elevated hail frequency relative to eastern Colorado plains, though impact severity remains moderate compared to higher-elevation mountain communities.

Hail risk in Broomfield peaks between May and July, with secondary activity in April and August. Most significant storms occur during afternoon hours between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Mountain Time, when surface heating destabilizes the atmosphere along the Front Range. This seasonal and diurnal pattern reflects the dominant convective storm track that moves from the Rockies toward the northeast.
