NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 64 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 3.8 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 185 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 2019, with 8 hail days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 13 days since 2022.
13 of the 64 days reached 2 inches or more -- 20%, or about one hail day in 5, the last on 2025-04-22. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 32 of 64 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
