See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 16 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 0.9 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 30 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 9 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 4 of the 16 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 2 days since 2022, against 1.2 a year before that.
2 of the 16 days reached 2 inches or more -- 12%, or about one hail day in 8, the last on 2017-04-03. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not June. 5 of the 16 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
