See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 27 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.6 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 74 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 5 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 6 of the 27 days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 5 days since 2022, against 1.8 a year before that.
3 of the 27 days reached 2 inches or more -- 11%, or about one hail day in 9, the last on 2023-07-17. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 6 of the 27 days.
