On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, a powerful severe weather system struck the metropolitan area of Denver, Colorado in the early afternoon. The storm came quickly, bringing strong winds, heavy rain, and dangerous conditions to the region.

Clear skies completely turned into dark clouds within just a few minutes. According to a video report by the BBC, the storm dropped massive hailstones that reached the size of golf balls. Videos from the area show the heavy ice hitting cars and homes. The hail fell so fast that it left some neighborhoods looking completely white, like a winter day.

The bad weather caused major problems for travelers. Drivers on the highway had to stop their cars because they could not see the road. At Denver International Airport, flights were delayed and stopped until the storm passed, leaving thousands of people waiting. Now, local teams are checking the damage left behind.

Many houses and cars have broken windows or roof damage from the large ice stones. Officials are telling people to take pictures of the damage for their insurance.You can watch this Denver Hailstorm Footage to see the actual size of the golf ball hail and how it blanketed the roads on Monday afternoon.
