Canon City hail storm history
Fremont County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Canon City lies in Fremont County within the Eastern Plains hail corridor, one of the most active hail zones in North America. Storms tracking northeast from the Rocky Mountains deliver hail to this region with regularity during the spring and summer months. The geographic position between the mountains and the plains creates conditions favorable for hail development through the growing season.

Hail risk in Canon City peaks during May, June, and July, with secondary activity in April and August. Storms in this corridor typically develop as moisture-laden systems move northeast from the Rockies, creating a concentrated band of hail activity across the Eastern Plains. Homeowners in Canon City should expect hail activity to increase markedly from late spring through mid-summer.
