Evidence / storm surfaces
How Bangor saw the hail — from two instruments
Jul 3, 2026 · Bangor, MI
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
NEXRAD radar signatures Surface resolved
Radar signature field NEXRAD's hail signatures for this storm: the spots the radar detected from above. A detection overhead is not the same thing as a confirmed stone below.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 3, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 3, 2026 sits in Bangor's hail record.
This was Bangor's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 46 days after the May 18, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Bangor at 1" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 3, 2026 convective day was bigger than Bangor: the same system put hail over 1,885 other tracked cities, 63 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Covert (8 miles west, up to 1"); Coloma (15 miles southwest, up to 1"); Kalamazoo (24 miles east, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Bangor storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Bangor roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

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 tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
