See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 19 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.1 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 41 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 7 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2011 alone produced 4 of the 19 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 4 days since 2022.
Roof-killing hail is routine here: 5 of the 19 days reached 2 inches or more, 26% of them, the last on 2026-02-26. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not June. 7 of the 19 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
