See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 15 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.9 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 27 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: 2011 alone produced 4 of the 15 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 4 days since 2022.
2 of the 15 days reached 2 inches or more -- 13%, or about one hail day in 8, the last on 2025-04-04. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in January, not April. 6 of the 15 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
