Lakewood hail storm history
Jefferson County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Lakewood sits on the Colorado Front Range in Jefferson County, a corridor where afternoon convective storms tracking northeast from the Rocky Mountains create consistent hail risk during spring and early summer. The Front Range's topography and elevation gradient make this area a convergence zone for severe weather systems that develop over the mountains and move toward the plains.
Check if your roof was damaged by recent hail
Hail risk in Lakewood peaks between May and July, with secondary activity in April and August. Most significant events occur in the afternoon and early evening between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Mountain Time, when surface heating destabilizes the atmosphere and triggers thunderstorm development along the Front Range.
