See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 13 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.8 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 21 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 7 of those 17 years produced none at all. The busiest single year was 2024, with 2 hail days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 5 days since 2022, against 0.7 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 1 of the 13 days on record passed it, 8%, the last on 2011-04-27. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not March. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 2 of the 13 days.
