Evidence / storm surfaces
How Trenton 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.
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.
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.
The storm in context
Where Jun 27, 2026 sits in Trenton's hail record.
This was Trenton's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 13 days after the Jun 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 10th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Trenton at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jun 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Trenton: the same system put hail over 587 other tracked cities, 35 of them in North Carolina. Nearest: Pollocksville (9 miles southeast, up to 1.5"); Deep Run (17 miles west, up to 1.25"); Vanceboro (18 miles east, up to 1.25").

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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Trenton. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Trenton 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.
