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. Those days carry 108 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. Exactly one year since 2010 passed with no reported hail day at all. The busiest single year was 2018, with 7 hail days. The last five years have been quieter than the long run: 7 days since 2022, against 3.8 a year before that.
Most hail here stays under 2 inches: only 4 of the 52 days on record passed it, 8%, the last on 2024-06-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not June. 20 of the 52 days reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
