Evidence / storm surfaces
How Millinocket saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Oct 4, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Millinocket, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Oct 4, 2026 sits in Millinocket's hail record.
This was Millinocket's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 61 days after the Aug 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Millinocket at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
Millinocket was the only tracked city this system reached on Oct 4, 2026 — a locally confined cell rather than a regional outbreak.

Ground reports
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Millinocket. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Millinocket roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.
