NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 25 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.5 a year over 17 years of record. Those days carry 48 separate reports between them, two or three on a typical one. 7 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2025 alone produced 5 of the 25 days. The last five years have run hotter than the long-run rate: 14 days since 2022, against 0.9 a year before that.
4 of the 25 days reached 2 inches or more -- 16%, or about one hail day in 6, the last on 2025-05-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in May, not March. Golf-ball size is rarer still: 1.75 inches or more on 5 of the 25 days.
