Colorado hurricane record

NOAA's table of continental U.S. hurricane impacts records no hurricane-force winds in Colorado from 1851 through 2025; the season risk for a stored boat is flooding and debris from weakened systems.

Denver averages 14.5 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in May (2.2 in), before any storm is added.

Hurricane checklist for a boat in Colorado

  1. Decide haul-out versus slip early; marina contracts often set haul-out order.
  2. On land, strap the hull to ground anchors and pull the drain plug.
  3. Strip canvas, biminis, cushions and electronics.
  4. In a slip, double the lines, add chafe gear and leave slack for surge.
  5. Photograph the hull ID and position; keep papers waterproofed.
  6. Get the building wind rating, the FEMA flood zone of the address and the re-entry rules in writing.

Colorado hurricane season boat questions

Do hurricanes reach Colorado?

NOAA's continental U.S. hurricane impact table (1851-2025) records no hurricane-force winds in Colorado. Weakened tropical systems still bring heavy rain, so a boat stored in a low spot or below grade can flood during the June to November season. Denver averages 14.5 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in May.

Which Colorado boat storage listings are enclosed?

58 of 130 live Colorado listings list enclosed indoor space; 16 list covered and 103 outdoor spaces. By city: Colorado Springs (29; 13 enclosed), Aurora (27; 12 enclosed), Denver (26; 11 enclosed) and Englewood (8; 8 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Colorado Springs (13) and Aurora (12). None lists climate-controlled units. Listings span 22 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.

What should I do with my boat when a hurricane watch is issued in Colorado?

Move it at once. 58 Colorado listings list enclosed space; book one before June. Denver has 4 months in the water by our rule. NOAA records no hurricane-force winds in Colorado, so the realistic threat to a boat is a remnant storm's rain. Denver averages 2.2 inches in May, so check the site drains.

Which Colorado cities have the most boat storage listings?

Listings span 22 Colorado cities. The largest groups are Colorado Springs (29 listed), Aurora (27 listed), Denver (26 listed), Englewood (8 listed) and Fort Collins (7 listed). For covered spaces, Colorado Springs (3) and Aurora (3) lead. Statewide, 103 list open lots, 16 covered parking and 58 enclosed space, so a boat owner can usually choose between shelter levels in the same city.
