See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 18 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.1 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 32 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 7 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2011 alone produced 4 of the 18 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 6 days since 2022.
3 of the 18 days reached 2 inches or more -- 17%, or about one hail day in 6, the last on 2023-06-14. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in January, not April. 8 of the 18 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
