See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 23 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.4 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 51 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 5 of the 23 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 8 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 23 days on record passed it, 4%, the last on 2025-05-20. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not March. 8 of the 23 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
