See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 52 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 3.1 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 90 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. Exactly one year since 2010 passed with no reported hail day at all. The busiest single year was 2016, with 6 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 13 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 3 of the 52 days on record passed it, 6%, the last on 2022-04-29. 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 9 of the 52 days.
