See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 17 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.0 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 19 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2012, with 3 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 4 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 17 days on record passed it, 6%, the last on 2023-04-24. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not June. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 2 of the 17 days.
