See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 27 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.6 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 55 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 6 of the 27 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 10 days since 2022.
6 of the 27 days reached 2 inches or more -- 22%, or about one hail day in 4, the last on 2026-02-26. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not April. 9 of the 27 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
