Large Hail Impacts Goodland and Surrounding Area 9-15-2016
During the late afternoon hours on September 15th an intense thunderstorm developed across eastern Colorado and tracked to the east along and north of Interstate 70. Several reports of hail up to the size of a baseball occurred along the path of the storm, resulting in significant damage in the Goodland area. In addition to the hail, wind gusts to 73 mph were measured at the Goodland airport. The combination of large hail and strong winds created dangerous conditions as the storm moved across the area.
The images below display the Maximum Estimated Hail Size (MESH) derived from the Multi Radar Multi Sensor (MRMS) program. The colors begin at a hail size of 0.88 inches (nickel), become yellow at 1.75 inch hail (golf ball) and becomes red at 2.5 inches (tennis ball). Please note, the images below are estimates and may not match exactly at what was observed at your location. While the values may not match, this data does provide a reasonable approximation for the area impacted by the storm.
