See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 24 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.4 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 41 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 5 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2022 alone produced 5 of the 24 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 9 days since 2022.
5 of the 24 days reached 2 inches or more -- 21%, or about one hail day in 5, the last on 2026-04-28. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in October, not March. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 12 of 24 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
