NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 54 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 3.2 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 94 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 15 days since 2022.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 4 of the 54 days on record passed it, 7%, the last on 2026-06-13. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in June, not May. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 10 of the 54 days.
