See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 29 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.7 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 54 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 3 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2023 alone produced 6 of the 29 days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 14 days since 2022, against 1.2 a year before that.
4 of the 29 days reached 2 inches or more -- 14%, or about one hail day in 7, the last on 2023-08-06. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not April. 8 of the 29 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
