NOAA's hail records rely on trained weather spotters, damage reports, and automated detection systems, which means smaller events or those occurring in less densely populated areas may not be captured. With only 3 events documented over 10 years, the actual frequency in Pueblo West may be higher than records indicate, particularly for hail smaller than 1 inch.
