Hail in Trenary Jun 30, 2026
Hit 34 days agoBoth radar surfaces caught this storm: NEXRAD logged 15 hail signatures up to 2.25", and the radar-estimated size reached 1.25" aloft. At 2.25" — tennis ball — this is severe, roof-replacing hail: close to every roof inside the footprint becomes a claim candidate.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm — see the ground reports below.

How Trenary 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

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.

Where Jun 30, 2026 sits in Trenary's hail record
This was Trenary's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the Jun 28, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Trenary at 2.25" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 30, 2026 convective day was bigger than Trenary: the same system put hail over 720 other tracked cities, 16 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Chatham (7 miles east, up to 1.75"); Eben Junction (11 miles north, up to 2.5"); Skandia (13 miles northwest, up to 1.75").
These maps are stills from Trenary's Jun 30, 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 2.25" hail means for Trenary roofs
Two-inch-plus hail punctures shingles, breaks skylights and windows, and dents anything soft. In the core of a footprint like this, close to every roof is a candidate for an insurance claim. Speed decides who writes those jobs.

Other storms in Trenary
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.
