Two ways to read the storm

How Newton Grove 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.

Radar-estimated hail size
Radar-estimated hail-size map of the storm over Newton Grove, NC on Jul 19, 2026

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.

Max size 0.5"

Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Newton Grove, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 19, 2026 sits in Newton Grove's hail record

This was Newton Grove's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Jul 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Newton Grove at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.

The Jul 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Newton Grove: the same system put hail over 351 other tracked cities, 60 of them in North Carolina. Nearest: Four Oaks (7 miles northeast, up to 0.5"); Goldsboro (11 miles east, up to 0.5"); Mount Olive (16 miles southeast, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Newton Grove's Jul 19, 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.

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.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Newton Grove. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Below the severe threshold

What 0.5" hail means for Newton Grove roofs

Hail under three-quarters of an inch stays below the National Weather Service severe threshold and rarely breaks shingles outright. But repeated small-hail events accelerate granule loss and shorten roof life — on older roofs, it's still worth a conversation.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$372K

Other storms in Newton Grove

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 2, 2026.
