How Princeton saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Princeton, so there is one map to show, not two.
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Princeton's hail record
This was Princeton's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 4 days after the Jun 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Princeton at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Princeton: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 105 of them in Missouri. Nearest: Cainsville (11 miles west, up to 0.75"); Mercer (13 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Harris (13 miles southeast, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills from Princeton's Jun 10, 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 1.5" hail means for Princeton 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.
