How Trappe saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
NEXRAD radar signatures
NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.

Where Jul 28, 2026 sits in Trappe's hail record
This was Trappe's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 22 days after the Jul 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Trappe at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 28, 2026 convective day was bigger than Trappe: the same system put hail over 686 other tracked cities, 55 of them in Maryland. Nearest: East New Market (3 miles south, up to 1.75"); Oxford (6 miles northwest, up to 1.75"); Preston (6 miles northeast, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills from Trappe's Jul 28, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

What 1.75" hail means for Trappe roofs
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.
What this storm is worth to a roofer

Other storms in Trappe
A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
