Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cedar Island saw the hail — from two instruments
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.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cedar Island, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 12, 2026 sits in Cedar Island's hail record.
This was Cedar Island's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cedar Island at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cedar Island: the same system put hail over 293 other tracked cities, 20 of them in North Carolina. Nearest: Plymouth (60 miles north, up to 0.75"); Nags Head (74 miles northeast, up to 1"); Windsor (78 miles northwest, up to 0.5").

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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Cedar Island for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Cedar Island roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.
